Sorry to hear this. Hearing loss isn't much fun. As for hearing aids, I went through a search a couple of years ago. Here's what I learned:
They're pretty sophisticated. The manufacturers trade on that by demanding very high prices. One clinic, supposedly the top one here in SoCal, wanted $7,500 for a pair.
But many of the aids have similar functions. I bought a pair of ReSounds (made in Denmark) that work incredibly well. They came complete with remote and are almost identical to the expensive pair the clinic tried to flog off on me. I got them at Costco. They cost $2,000 and were branded as Kirkland hearing aids.
Some places will charge for the hearing test. Costco, which hires audiologists or will use the test done by someone else, does not charge. All you pay for is the equipment. I'm really happy with the improvement. So is my wife....
The Costco deal is a good one
