Hearing aids are remarkable pieces of digitally advanced technology that can drastically improve a person’s ability to understand normal conversational speech. “Yes”, you say, “and I understand that, but why are they so expensive?” The true answer is this: You are not just purchasing a piece of plastic with a computer chip and wires. Rather, you are typically purchasing the hearing device plus a package of professional services by an audiologist. The audiologist not only has the education to choose the proper instrument for your ear, but they also have the professional skills to help you adjust to the hearing aids. The audiologist has the extensive training to adjust the hearing aids with proper computer programming. They also use directive counseling to orient you to the proper care and use of the hearing instruments. Lastly, the audiologist also helps facilitate the process of accepting the hearing loss.
