Hearing aids have been designed to help people with hearing impairments over the years, ranging from mild, moderate, and severe hearing loss. But with so many manufactures and hearing aid brands available at your disposal, it can become a little difficult for people to distinguish between the various types and find out which one is best suited.

Hearing aids can be a very expensive investment, depending on the severity of your hearing loss and recommendation by certified professionals. The price paid is not just for the hearing aid, but for the total cost which is incurred right form the first consultation to the follow ups after the hearing aid has been purchased.

Hearing aids are generally classified into categories depending on the severity of the hearing loss and of course the price range. In the ear (ITE), behind the ear (BTE), in the canal (ITC), completely in the canal (CIC), and right in the ear (RITE) hearing aids are just some of the many types.

The price range of hearing aids is also affected by the reviews a particular product gets. Dedicated hearing aid websites, which might also be the company websites, will have a page for reviews posted by happy customers and people who are undergoing treatment.

The general price range of hearing aids can be anywhere from a couple of hundred dollars to a couple of thousand dollars, but the product reviews for major brands like Phonak, Zounds, Beltone, Re sound, and many others will also determine the price of hearing aids.

You can also find reviews about medical hearing aids on major medical websites, where a number of products can be compared side-by-side including price and where these hearing aids can be purchased. There are discussion forums and blogs by medical professionals who advice on the best possible course of action to be taken by people who are experiencing signs of hearing impairment, including advise to immediately go see a professional practitioner.
