What’s included in the price?
Your journey begins with a complete Hearing Test ($67.00 to $98.00), including a complete explanation of your test results. If you have a hearing loss and might be considered a good candidate for hearing aids, then we would offer a Hearing Aid Evaluation ($124.00), which is a detailed discussion where we listen to you, and your better hearing needs, and your preferences. We discuss the options available, technology and features, which would specifically benefit your, and fit your hearing loss, style preferences, and budget. If you proceed with a hearing aid selection, we apply the cost of the Hearing Test and Hearing Aid Evaluation ($191) to the price of your hearing aid purchase. If you decide not to select instruments, we will provide you a copy of your hearing test results/ Audiogram, and a written recommendation for the hearing aid, including the make, model and price the we believe would be the best choice for you.

Hearing Aid Price Range
What are the differences in prices and the hearing aids?
The different price levels vary by the sophistication of the hearing aid technology, the computer chip processing, the features within the aid, and variability in programming i.e. (how flexible-adjustable or tunable it is.)
Important technology to consider is speech processing, and processing separating speech and noise, and how many situations the aids are able to identify and how they either automatically or manually adjust for each. Some features (e.g. Bluetooth connectivity, rechargeability, single sided deafness accommodation) are only available in higher level hearing aids. Each manufacturer is excellent, each excels in a certain feature or technological aspect of amplification. There are hundreds of variations. The art, and science of Audiology, and our services, selecting the right fit for you, and further fine tuning it for your preferences are the reasons for choosing O’Connor Hearing Center for your hearing care needs.
In most cases, the style or exterior design of the instrument, or battery size (ultra mini to x-large and powerful,} will not change the price. The complexity of the software, and the features will directly increase the price5
