Most every professional around the world has access to the same levels and prices of products. You can buy cheaper aids, but you are getting cheaper quality. You might consider looking to the schools for the hearing impaired in your area. They often team up with non-profit organizations (like our friends at HHII) to provide hearing aids for the needy during a mission event. HHII (Hearing Healthcare International Institute) headquartered in Camas Washington, primarily provides help for children in Eastern Europe. The Starkey foundation has sponsored missions in Central America, but we are not aware of any current plans for missions in the near future. A “Google” search for HHII-CEU or Starkey Hearing Foundation or So The World May Hear, might turn up some missions planned for your region. These organizations range from very small to very large. The larger ones have far more resources and will have more missions planned. The smaller ones are “labors of love” of one or two people who sponsor all the work themselves (thus smaller outreach).

I live in Honduras Central America.I have a six years old son who already lost 90% of his hearing on his right side ear. My biggest concern is cost.Do you know of a cheap brand or a place where I can get one for my son in Honduras. Thanks May the Lord Bless you.

I am presently “trying” Audigy AGX9 behind the ear hearing aids. They are more comfortable and work much better than the analoge ITC aids I had since 2002. I cannot believe however, that in this age of technology they would cost $10,000 a pair. I have been on the web for hours tyring to find a comparison to Audigy and other brands. For some reason, Audigy is never included in the comparisons or pricing info. From what I have seen, the most expensive digital hearing aid is $6600 a pair. What am I missing? Can anyone out there enlighten me while I still have the opportunity to back out of this deal?

Because of economies of scale we’re seeing more and more affordable digital hearing aids on the market than ever. In fact, it is becoming hard to find the older technology analog types. And the poster is correct: it is very possible to find a hearing aid that fits your budget without sacrificing quality.

Hearing aids have truly diminished in size and in weight, and that is wonderful.

So, maybe the cost will also follow suit soon.

I have been deaf for 36 years now and had a Cochlear Ear Implant in 1990. The difference this has made is astounding. Whilst a normal hearing aid does not benefit me whatsoever I fully undrstand what you are trying to impress with this article. Consequently I am going to endorse it wholeheartedly and wish you the best of luck.

Anything that can help to improve your hearing and enhance the quality of your life has to be given full marks.
