It's crazy how expensive hearing aids are considering they are just fancy in-ear headphones. They are literally like 10x the price of the most high end headphones.
I have a set of Siemens ones that were like 4k
You do get custom made inserts specifically for your ears, extremely precise tuning to adjust your hearing loss, they're way less visible than earbuds, the batteries last 15 hours, wireless charging, free retuning and adjustments for life and free cleaning for life
Plus, just using earbuds to increase the volume will damage your hearing further, a good audiologist will have studied for years to improve your hearing without damage
Wouldn't say it's the best 4k I've spent but it's fucking life changing
My grandfather is really not subtle when he wants me to get him something. He recently wanted hearing aids because the ones he has now with the over-the-ear wires were cutting into his ears. I would've loved to get him some high-end ones, but I'm not THAT well off. I ended up getting him some ~$100 ones. I couldn't imagine $4k.
Look into Costco hearing aid center. They offer high-end, name brand hearing aids at cost.
