What determines the price of a hearing aid?
The price of a product is often one of the deciding factors for choosing among different options. And the market rules are very clear: the more complete a product is, the more benefits it offers and the better it meets the needs, the higher its price to acquire it.
Focusing on hearing aids, although it is true that a specific hearing aid format is recommended for each person, it has practically no influence on the price. So what influences the cost of a hearing aid? The technology that has incorporated.
Better equipped hearing aids, with more channels and features to adapt to any sound situation and with more tools incorporated for the hearing care professional to make the appropriate adjustments are those in the market have a higher value.
All these technological benefits are directly related to the range of a hearing aid. The higher the range, the more technological benefits it has and, consequently, the higher the price. And what is more relevant: the range of a hearing aid is directly related to the lifestyle.
People with a more active lifestyle need more complete hearing aids because they are exposed to more sound environments than those with little activity. That's why they need hearing aids with advanced features to cover all their activities, their social life and ultimately, to be able to hear well in any situation of their day to day: going to concerts, the beach or a restaurant for example.
If you need hearing aids, as with many other products, it is important that you know their real price and being provided with all the information so that you can decide with discretion and evaluate if the benefits included in each particular model are in accordance with your lifestyle.
In Claso we defend this position without hesitation and we value according to your lifestyle the hearing aid that suits your needs the best. Because explaining all this would not make sense if in Claso we don't put the real price of things.
And something must be kept in mind, even if it seems a bit obvious. Buying an economic hearing aid and wanting it to have the maximum benefits are virtually incompatible factors. It is like wanting to buy a well-equipped car with a high horsepower but with the idea of doing it at low cost. It's hardly feasible, is it?
So now you have to assess what lifestyle you have and let your hearing care professional advise you to choose the hearing aid that best suits your needs.
