Why can't you show me hearing aid prices now?

We know that price is a big consideration when making a purchase decision. However, prices vary greatly depending on your specific, unique requirements, so it would be unethical and misleading for us to recommend a device to our patients before we have evaluated their hearing and completed our comprehensive suite of tests. Your hearing aid audiologist will discuss the types of hearing aids suitable to your individual hearing profile at the end of your consultation. We also offer 0% finance and a 90-day money back guarantee for your peace of mind. Reserve your free hearing test appointment .

FAQ about hearing aid prices

Hidden Hearing - Hearing Aid Audiologist, Jim Williamson
Jim Williamson, Audiologist

“I consider myself a lucky one to have figured out what I love to do!”

My name is Jim Williamson. I chose to become an audiologist because I am naturally fascinated by Hearing and the phenomenon of sound, and I wanted to pursue a career that satisfies my curiosity and supports my passion.

I wanted to pursue a career in medicine, and Audiology sounded interesting. On completion of my studies, I started my career with Hidden Hearing, and I can honestly say that it is the job of my dreams. It's challenging and rewarding in equal measure, and I get to make a positive difference, improving people's Hearing and quality of life.
