I maybe paranoid and very much skeptical of the cost of hearing aids
since they are part of the 'medical profession'. Is there any value in
buying a $2000 hearing aid compared to a $500 hearing aid?

**Good ones do have some fancy processing, anti-feedback systems and T-Loop
capability.


My hunch tells me profit margin is in the hundreds of %.

**Only the Bose branded ones.


Comments please. I need to buy some, just trying to figure out how much
to spend.

**If you don't care about cosmetics, a small battery powered amplifier (in a
jiffy box), a pair of cheap headphones and an electret mic can do a far
better job than any hearing aid, for about 30 Bucks.
