We are hard working people and that is out of the question. Thank You For Your Time, R Hi R, Not all hearing aids are that expensive. Your audiologist might be able to fit you with simpler hearing aids that would cost less, that might not be perfect for you, but better than no hearing aids at all.
Many states have programs to help people get hearing aids.
Maryland's Department of Vocational Rehabilitation has a contract with our facility, for example, to provide hearing aids for people who need them to do their jobs better, to get a better job, to advance in their present job, and for many other reasons. Your state probably has a similar agency. Give them a call. Hearing aids are expensive because of the costs of fitting and maintaining them. And if it had to be custom shaped to fit the customer's body.
