Get ready for some sticker shock. If your hearing is starting to deteriorate and think you need a little help, what choices do you have? Digital Hearing Aids are generally the first things that come to mind but they can set you back $ 3,000 or more ... and that is just for one ear. The process is pretty simple. You find a doctor or audiologist located near you, you pull out a coupon from one of their frequent ads in the local newspaper offering the promise of great discounts, you make an appointment, have your hearing testing, and are told, “we can outfit you with a state of the art hearing aid complete with fabulous features – noise reductions, 100% digital hearing aid processing, comfortable fit, feedback cancellation (whatever that is) - and it will only cost you about $ 2.945 per ear ... plus tax. You ask yourself, quite rightly, if I can buy a full flat screen High Definition TV with internal DVD player for less than $ 700 or an iPad for under $ 500, why does a hearing aid cost almost $ 3,000 ? How can such a little electronic device cost so much? Ahhh, you think, there really is no problem. My health insurance or Medicare will take care of that for me. Wrong. There is no insurance coverage for hearing aid. The money has to come out of your pocket. "Do you have any cheap hearing aids", you ask. The good news is that for anyone looking for a little hearing help, there is an inexpensive hearing aid alternative – the hearing amplifier. A prominent audiologist in Connecticut who does not want to have his name used for fear of angering his fellow audiologist calls Hearing Amplifiers “starter hearing aids – an inexpensive hearing aid alternative. These hearing amplifiers fit nicely in the ear. Have tone control. And magnify the sounds to make routine conversations easier, phone calls more pleasant, and watching TV at home not a battle over the sound control. Best of all, they cost a fraction of digital hearing aids. Often less than $ 30.00 Hearing aids or hearing amplifiers? The choice is yours. But hearing amplifiers, the so called starter hearing aids, deserve a look. For more resources about Digital hearing aid or about Hearing Amplifier, please review http://www.healthandfitnessnews.com
