> I noticed that someone else posted a comment, saying that Americans exaggerate medical costs.
In this case, I agree that your earlier post exaggerates the cost of hearing aids in the US.
For example, [1] quotes a top price of $3500/ear. That makes $7000 total. A page full of search results [2] will tell you that prices are in ranges like $1-6k each. Even the hearing aid producers are quoting those prices. [3]
OK. I cede the point. It's likely I'm wrong, as I am not deaf, and don't have a hearing aid, so I am not speaking from experience. I have a freind that is deaf, and has the magnetic cochlear ones.
It's not worth arguing about. This is not an area I'm anywhere near expert in, as I suspect, many other commenters are.
