But what is the price?

This is one of the first question clients will ask, but unfortunately there is no easy way to answer that question. 

Costs for a particular hearing aid vary greatly depending on model of hearing aid chosen, whether you need one hearing aid or two, health insurance, discounts, tax rebates, and eligibility for hearing aids under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program. As an example, an advanced solution such as the ion200 hearing solution could cost anywhere from $1,500 to $6,900 depending on these factors.

The best step is to make an appointment at HEARINGLife so that you can discuss your needs with your Audiologist.


Relationship between investment and benefit

Hearing aids have a range of features to assist people with hearing loss to hear better in a range of situations - such as Noise Reduction, Directional Microphones, Feedback Cancellation, Multiple Lifestyle Programs, Automatic programs and more.  As these are quite technical concepts, it makes
sense to describe the difference in benefit between entry-level and premium solutions.

The more difficult and challenging the listening environment is for someone with hearing loss, the more help they will need.  Premium solutions have better technology to help in noisy environments, to allow people to be able to follow conversations.

So someone who lives - or wants to live - an active life where noisy social situations are common, may need more assistance than another person who just wants to hear the television more effectively.

While the chart on Page 2 of the Client Demonstration Folder gives a clue to what you may need, again it is best to discuss your needs in consultation with a HEARINGLife Audiologist.

Velocity offers several directional technologies to improve hearing in noisy situations. Velocity 24 and Velocity 12 have sophisticated automatic and adaptive directional options that provide hands-free operation in a wide variety of listening environments.
