The cost of hearing aids can vary from as low as SGD $600 to $7,200 per piece. While the price may seem daunting at first to most buyers, hearing aids are considered among the most affordable investment as hearing aids last between 5 to 10 years. Taking into consideration that a user will wear his or her hearing aid daily for at least 5 years, it will cost at most $3.50 per day to hear clearly and have a drastically better quality of life.

Many factors that go into the final cost of each hearing aid including the millions of research costs that goes into building each hearing aid, professional services by the audiologist team, repair warranty, advanced features and most importantly, the technology level. The technology level is the main determining factor and includes categorisation based on:

• Number of digital processing channels
• Background noise reduction
• Control of feedback (whistling noise)
• Fitting precision
• Speech clarity enhancement
• High tech features (GPS, I-Phone compatibility…etc)

When you purchase a hearing aid from hearLIFE no matter what the technology level or price catergory, the price includes all the professional services that go with the fitting. This includes re-programming when your hearing ability changes, repair costs, counselling services, device customisation and technical support.
