In the Ear options

There are online retailers like ZipHearing.com1 (at least in the U.S.) that work with audiologists and patients. The prices are far, far better than what you’ve posted. My audiologist works with this bunch and I can either buy through her or direct from the company and she will fit them. Only difference is the number of “free” visits if I recall. There are other firms, but I ended up doing business with this one. They also handle the insurance end of things.

When i last spoke to my audiologist, prior to this aid going south, she was recommending either starkey evolve or phonak paradise.

If you have been pleased with your audiologist, they gave you the recommendations they are most comfortable supporting. Choose one of them.

Many of us are still trying to find a hearing professional that works well for us.
