The Best Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids and Other Hearing Solutions

The main reason why we did not make the Horizon AX an official pick in this guide is that Hear.com’s pricing approach is more like that of some medical-grade hearing-aid companies, as opposed to over-the-counter options. The company does not publish exact models and pricing on its website. You have to call in for a phone consultation to begin the process, at which time the company will discuss models, pricing, and financing options. On its website, Hear.com provides only a range of possible monthly costs, saying that the amount you pay depends on the options you choose, how much of the cost you finance, and for how long. You can read more on the site about the financing terms, which are not unlike what you might expect to see when buying a car. Some over-the-counter shoppers may not be comfortable with this approach; our testers all preferred to see price options on the website. The model our panelists tested costs $3,250 per ear, or $6,500 per pair, which falls in the “luxury” category on the Hear.com pricing structure. When we presented that price to our panelists, they said that they’d choose the Jabra Enhance Select or Eargo devices instead. But if money isn’t a concern, you’ll likely get great service and a device that works very well.
