I spoke with a hear.com representative on the phone who quoted $4,250 for a pair of Horizon IX hearing aids.
They said that the Horizon IX is the only hearing aid that has dual background noise and speech recognition technology (that all other hearing aids have only one or the other).
I have both issues and am looking for hearing aids that work for me. I have used three brands which have only helped with amplifying sound.
I am skeptical and wonder why Horizon IX hasn't become well known by word of mouth, if they truly do improve both issues.
