How much does a hearing aid test cost?

Dustin Y asked:

My hearing has been going down for years and I want to be tested and purchase two hearing aids. Of course, they vary in price quite a bit.

How much would the test(s) cost for a hearing aid? I imagine an audiogram is one of the tests performed. A rough estimate is fine. Most audiologists won’t give me a straight answer when I ask…I guess they want to surprise me with a huge bill, lol.

Most hearing test are around $2-300. there is a new hearing device that is called Lyric. Check it out before getting a cumbersome and expensive hearing aid. Have your ears cleaned out when you go to the audiologists for a test.

As a hearing aid specialist in Oregon I can tell you from experience that most hearing aid specialists (at least the ones I know) will do the hearing test for free. Not only that you can probably get a free trail period (30 days, 100% money back) on hearing aids if it turns out you have a loss.

I would recommend you ask any friends with hearing aids where they got them and if they are satisfied. Hearing aid specialists and audiologists aren’t all created the same, some are better than others and getting a personal reference from a someone you trust is a good start.

your hearing test is usually covered by insurance – ask on the phone when you call

This should be covered by insurance, but there are still many audiologists who are out there that do it for free. Again it varies from person to person. More important is finding a good audiologist to test your hearing.
