Good hearing is an essential part of life. It allows you to enjoy conversations with loved ones and spend relaxing moments with friends. Good hearing helps adults stay safe on the road and productive at work.
Surprisingly, while nearly 40 million Americans have difficulty hearing, less than 20% of people who could benefit from hearing aids actually use them. In other words, only one in five adults under 70 takes advantage of this simple, wonderful, and life-changing technology.
Price is undoubtedly a factor. Not everyone can afford the most expensive brands. So, how much do hearing aids cost?
How much do hearing aids cost on average?
The price of hearing aids varies greatly depending on the brand, features, technology level, and whether professional services (fitting and follow-up) are included or not. Here is a general price range for several reputable brands in the United States:
Starkey: $2,500 – $7,500 per pair
Phonak: $2,400 – $7,000 per pair
Widex: $2,800 – $4,600 per pair
Oticon: $3,000 – $7,500 per pair
Audicus: $1,000 – $2,800 per pair
CLARIA: $99 – $249 per pair (OTC models like Atom and Atom Pro)
Some people benefit from full or partial coverage for their hearing aids through their insurance, or use installment payments to spread out the cost. However, not everyone has access to these benefits, and not all hearing loss requires a high-end prescription device — especially for mild to moderate hearing loss or less complex listening needs.
Annual hearing tests are often covered by insurance, but access varies depending on location, contract, or professional availability. After the test, it's important to consider your hearing needs, lifestyle, and financial situation when choosing your hearing solution. The best hearing aid is the one you will actually wear — and the one that suits both your hearing and your life.
What factors influence the price of hearing aids?
The price of hearing aids generally depends on the features offered, the brand, and the type of device you prefer:
The format: there are many options, including in-the-canal (ITC) and completely-in-canal (CIC) models, which are virtually invisible.
New technologies: cutting-edge features, such as artificial intelligence, cost more when they are launched.
Audiology services: "all-inclusive" prices may include hearing tests, custom fittings, adjustments, and cleanings.
Region: your place of residence influences the price, due to the cost of audiologist appointments.
How much do hearing aids cost by brand?

Widex Moment: approximately $2,800 to $4,600 per pair.
