I paid about 4K per ear and when one stopped working after warranty it had to be sent to the manufacture for repair. They told me the entire inside had to be replaced and it cost $300. Now can you imagine what kind of profit they are making on a hearing aid they sell for $4,000 when the entire workings can be replaced for $300? I had a friend who used to be in the optical business and told me the frames I paid $150 for probably cost them $20.
