Five tiers, honestly explained.
Signature
Our top tier: the fastest processors and the most sophisticated automatic adjustment available, built for the most demanding listening lives, busy restaurants, boardrooms, theaters, and constant travel.
Elite
Near-flagship performance with advanced noise management and conversation tracking. A strong choice for professionals and social calendars that regularly include complex, noisy environments.
Select
Where many patients land. Excellent everyday performance, solid noise management, rechargeability, and Bluetooth streaming that handles restaurants, family gatherings, and city streets well.
Standard
Dependable prescription technology for moderately active lifestyles: conversations at home and work, TV, phone calls, and smaller gatherings, with the essentials done well.
Core
Our most accessible tier, suited to quieter routines. Fewer automatic features, but professionally fit and verified like every tier, which matters more than the spec sheet.
As a general market estimate for patient education (not a quote, and not our fixed pricing), a professionally fit pair of prescription hearing aids in NYC is often about $4,000 to $7,000, depending on technology level, hearing needs, included professional care, insurance benefits, and follow-up services. Exact pricing for each tier is quoted at your consultation, after we understand your hearing and verify your insurance benefit.

You are not just buying a device.
Comprehensive fitting
A doctoral audiologist programs the devices to your exact hearing profile across a structured four-visit fitting process, not a ten-minute setup.
Real-ear verification
We measure the sound the device actually delivers in your ear canal, the clinical gold standard that most volume-based providers skip. It is the single biggest predictor of whether hearing aids work for you.
Follow-up care
Adjustments, cleanings, counseling, and troubleshooting through your defined care period, in office, and with concierge and remote options when appropriate.
Trial & warranty
A 45-day trial on every purchase, plus manufacturer warranties that typically cover repair and one-time loss or damage. We explain the exact terms before you commit.
Insurance, benefits & pre-tax dollars.
We verify before you visit
Many commercial and Medicare Advantage plans include hearing aid allowances or managed-care benefits (TruHearing, EPIC, Amplifon, and others). We are credentialed with the common ones and check your specific benefit before your appointment. See our insurance page for details.
Pre-tax eligible
Hearing aids and related professional services are qualified medical expenses, so FSA and HSA funds can meaningfully reduce the real cost. We provide the documentation.
Spread the cost
Payment options are available so the right technology is not out of reach. Ask at your consultation and we will walk through what fits your budget.
A fair word about cheaper options.
Over-the-counter hearing aids are real, FDA-regulated devices, and for adults with mild hearing loss they can be a reasonable starting point. What they cannot include is the part that makes hearing aids work: a diagnostic evaluation, professional programming to your exact loss, and real-ear verification. If your hearing loss is moderate or greater, if restaurants and meetings are the problem, or if an OTC device has already disappointed you, prescription devices professionally fit are usually the answer. Bring us your questions, or read our honest OTC hearing aid guide. We will tell you plainly if OTC is enough for your hearing.
Pricing questions, answered.
Pricing depends on which of our five technology tiers (Core, Standard, Select, Elite, and Signature) fits your hearing and lifestyle, and on your insurance benefit. We quote exact pricing at your consultation, and every tier includes the professional fitting, real-ear verification, and a defined period of follow-up care, not just the devices.
The main driver is the technology tier inside the device: higher tiers like Elite and Signature add faster processing, better noise management, and more automatic adjustment for complex environments like restaurants. Style, rechargeability, and included service also affect price. Two patients can wear the same brand at very different price points.
Coverage varies widely. Many commercial plans and most Medicare Advantage plans include a hearing aid allowance or a managed-care benefit such as TruHearing, while Original Medicare does not cover hearing aids. We verify your specific benefit before your appointment so you know the real numbers before deciding anything.
Yes. Hearing aids, batteries, and related professional services are qualified medical expenses for FSA and HSA accounts, which lets many patients pay with pre-tax dollars. We provide the documentation you need for reimbursement.
Not necessarily. OTC devices can help adults with mild loss and a limited budget, and we would rather you wear something than nothing. Their limits show up with moderate or greater loss, complex listening environments, and the absence of professional fitting and verification. We are happy to give you an honest read on whether OTC is enough for your hearing.
Yes. Hearing aid purchases include a 45-day trial period, so you can wear the devices in your real life, at work, at dinner, on the subway, before the decision is final. Details are covered clearly before you commit.
