Disposable Hearing AidsDisposable hearing aids use analog technology, and are a temporary solution for persons who can't afford a more expensive hearing aid right away, or as an emergency second pair. Sometimes called "one-size-fits-all" hearing aids, disposable hearing aids are designed to fit about 70% of all adults adequately. Disposable hearing aids come with a non-replaceable battery that lasts about a month, after which time the hearing aid is discarded. Disposable hearing aids sell for about $40 each, which comes out to almost $1,000 per year for both ears. This price compares with that of good-quality analog hearing aids, which are custom-fitted and last five years. Sellers of hearing aids |
