Hearing Aids
A lot of us know someone affected by hearing loss. In Australia 1 in 5 people live with the condition. This number increases to 1 in 2 for people over 60 years of age. Hearing loss progresses over time and it is best to recognise the signs early.
Hearing loss can significantly affect the quality of life for people with hearing loss and their families. The extent of the hearing loss also varies, from a mild to a profound hearing loss where loud safety signals may not be heard. Often, hearing loss shows through struggling to understand simple conversations, particularly in the presence of background noise.

Different styles offer different features and benefits; for instance, IIC types are suitable for those wanting a discreet hearing aid, while RIC and BTE types deliver directionality and great performance, even when background noise is present.
Selecting the style that’s best for your needs will depend on a number of factors, including your degree of hearing loss, your hearing needs/goals, the shape of each ear, your ability to manage the size of the device, cosmetics, and your personal preferences.
Pricing
When it comes to the value of hearing aids, it’s what’s inside that counts. The technology itself is what determines the price point, not necessarily the style or size as many people think.
Generally hearing aids are priced according to categories of technology, and there are up to 6 levels of technology across all hearing aid manufacturers.
Costs per hearing aid from Hi-Tech Hearing Specialists vary from less than $1,500 to around $3,500 depending on the level of technology.
