If you have a Costco in your area, they have a PAIR of Kirkland Signature aids for less that 1500 bucks. They’re made by one of the major manufacturers, like Siemans.
I have them and they’re great for the price. Good service and warranty as well.
‘...1500 bucks...”
You can buy an iPhone 14 promax for less than that. You can buy a fully decked win computer for less than that. $1500 for—cheap—hearing aids is obscene! I hope the manufactures go BK because of this change.
