MODERATORS
I'm surprised they're only asking $75k. That's like half a hearing aid nowadays (hyperbole)
For anyone curious, I couldn't find an exact statistics but hearing aids in the US cost between $2000 to $8000 per pair with the average costs sitting around $5000-$6000 per pair.
Insurance coverage varies per insurance provider and per state. It looks like many people will end up paying the maximum required by law before insurance takes over which is roughly between $1000-$3000 depending on state.
Not only is a single purchase expensive, you usually have to replace them every 3 to 5 years.
And that's still forgetting they cannot bring the full quality hearing back.
Just went through this
I was only able to get mine because of a grant i found, which paid 100% of the cost (over $3k).
You know, 6k$ for hearing aid makes me think hinding in forests from voenkom isn't that bad.
It should really be 7 digits, if not 8.
