So a pair of the Neo aids which are I think $2600 (give or take) is more like $2600 for three years, and then you have to pay the same for the next set when the batteries die.

Compare to the Siemen's that I have, that theoretically last 5 years before they typically need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear, but those were around $6000 for the pair.

Seems the Neos are the better deal, financially.

Now if they don't cut out when there's wax buildup, I might be looking at a new pair of hearing aids next year (I'd have to save up, our insurance doesn't cover any of it).
