Hearing aids can improve your life immensely, but this improvement does not come cheap. Hearing aids can cost from several hundred to several thousand dollars per device. Unfortunately, hearing aids in America are not covered by insurance, but luckily there are some options to make affording hearing aids a little easier. Some hearing aid providers, like, Audicus, offer hearing aid payment plans. We took a look at other hearing aid providers to see if they offer plans and if so, how they stack up against our own.
