Some 48 million Americans are believed to have some degree of hearing loss, according to the Hearing Loss Association of America. Unfortunately, that loss can take a severe toll on more than just your ears; it can wreak havoc on your emotional and mental health as well.
Too many people put off getting a hearing aid because of the cost. In fact, the HLAA reports that most folks will wait an average of 7 years before seeking the help they need.
Maybe you haven’t gotten a hearing aid because you know they tend to be expensive. Or maybe you have somebody important in your life like an aging parent who needs one. Either way, we put this guide together for you. It offers some quality choices starting at a few hundred bucks per ear!
