My mom and friend had hearing test and hearing aids were costly similar to down payment of a house. Not covered by insurance so out of pocket for both of them. Good luck!

Hi @marjou,

I'm not sure if everyone is aware of this but Costco has a hearing aid center that is low-cost compared to other distributors. It is important to have your hearing evaluated by a registered audiologist but then you can take that evaluation to a Costco store and get two hearing aids for under $1500. (Costco will also do their own evaluation but I think it is important to have a medical professional do one first.) This is mostly used by folks with mild to moderate hearing loss.

You might look into it. Costco also offers a six-month trial period which is much more generous than most hearing aid distributors.
