Pricing & Insurance
You can purchase a lot of things cheaply online, including a ministry ordination and a medical degree. If you have a mild hearing loss, you may be tempted to buy a personal sound amplification product (PSAP) from a website. This product is similar to the eyeglass “cheaters” available at a corner drugstore. Unlike the glasses, which are easy to set up and adjust, hearing aids require some initial programming to fit your loss. The thing you don’t usually get with online hearing aids is a professional fitting.
Kochkin and colleagues at the Better Hearing Institute surveyed more than 2000 hearing aid users about their fitting experience and level of satisfaction. The outcome was straightforward: those users who were fitted using a clinically validated hearing aid fitting protocol had greater satisfaction with their hearing aids. In other words, those patients who were given appropriate support and service by a licensed hearing aid professional actually heard better!

What insurances have hearing aid benefits?
That is a question we are asked all the time, and the answer, fortunately, has increased in the last couple of years.
