My last hearing aid was $3,000 and I only use one. Insurance didn't cover it so my family had to help pay out of pocket for it! Hearing aids were not addressed by Obamacare, so many deaf people still struggle to find good quality hearing aids.https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1210579086059302913 …
Please keep the struggles of deaf people in mind the next time you encounter one of us. We go through so much in dealing with hearing society that if you can make your interaction easier with us by being patient or kind, then we'll remember you and appreciate you.
If you're hearing please refrain from hearing-splaining hearing devices to me. I'm well aware of the broad spectrum of products.
My insurance thru work doesn’t cover them. We asked for them to look into it and it would’ve raised everyone’s premiums 5%!!!! So we are buying my husband’s out of pocket (luckily the Costco ones work well for him so it’s “”only”” 1500)
And I have the “nice” insurance my union fought for that Biden & Buttigieg keep saying they want me to keep. Plus pay $600/month for my husband & infant daughter’s premiums. So great 
I had to pay half even with workers Comp ...$4000 out of pocket
There are programmable hearing aids now available for around $600 by mail. COSTCO has the $2,500 Phonex hearing aids and others for half the price. Please consider having 2; it makes a difference.
I have only one good ear lol
I need a hearing aid also and haven’t gotten one because of the ridiculous cost. Should be covered by insurance, but they’re not.
As if that was not on purpose.
In the meantime, amplifiers are on the rise! Many are very happy and can use these for only $75+ available at local stores.
Only because the American healthcare system means actual aids are unaffordable. Hearing aids amplify only the frequencies you can't hear so well, amplifiers amplify it all which can damage the remaining hearing.
