My husband has been wearing aids for several years now. We were surprised to find out the most insurances do NOT cover hearing aids. We found the best product for the best price was at Costco. He has been happy with them. They had replacement insurance on them for the first year. He lost one of the aids after 19 months. We had to replace it and 2 weeks later we found the original one. At least we have a back up now. Here in our area the aids cost about $1,000 for each one. That was the lowest price we could find for the quality. Most ran anywhere from $3,000-$7500. hope this helps
