Averaged over the lifetime of the instruments (4 to 7 years or more), the cost per day of a pair of highly featured, advanced digital hearing aids is about $2 – less than a large latte at your favorite coffee shop. And hearing aids are proven to not only help you hear better, but to actually improve the quality of life for people with hearing loss and their families. I’d say that is one worthy investment to make.
