    Beltone hearing aid prices

    Unfortunately, you won’t find prices on Beltone’s website; however, this is fairly common in the hearing aid industry. High-tech hearing aids with adjustable programs, apps and tinnitus relief tend to come at a high price. Still, you will only end up paying a few dollars a day for a hearing aid that lasts several years. Although prices aren’t exact, you can expect a hearing aid from Beltone to cost roughly $2,500, with some costing up to $4,500 per hearing aid.

    Beltone technology

    Beltone has a wealth of additional features and technologies to enhance your hearing experience. A Beltone representative can tell you which smartphone app is best for your hearing aid.

    • Beltone Phone Link 2: This allows your phone to ring directly in your ear. You can answer your phone even if your phone isn’t on your person.
    • Beltone myPAL Micro and Pro: This wireless microphone extends your range of hearing up to 80 feet. This helps wearers hear conversations and other important sounds around the house and outside.
    • Beltone Direct TV Link 2: Just like it sounds, this lets you stream audio from the TV to your hearing aid.
    • Beltone Direct Remote Control 2: Adjust the volume on your hearing aid or switch audio streaming devices.
    • Beltone Tinnitus Calmer App: This app includes sound therapy and other exercises to reduce the irritation tinnitus can cause.
    • Beltone Hear Plus app, Beltone Hear Max app and Beltone Smart Remote app: You can adjust your hearing aid volume, adjust settings and more with Beltone’s convenient smartphone apps.

    Do we recommend Beltone hearing aids?

    We recommend Beltone hearing aids because they have a large selection of models and customizable styles, a broad sound coverage range and additional complementary technologies. We do wish pricing were more transparent, but their hearing aids are high-quality, making them a great option for the hearing impaired.

    Both Cindy and David are top-notch at their respective jobs. Always professional and willing to do whatever is necessary to get the job done. Highly recommend the Logansport, In. Beltone office staff. They always do a great job.

    People at Beltone have been very professional. The follow up with the people in the reception area has been exceptionally helpful. I am not a user of a Beltone product, but they fit for and service other products. It has worked out beautifully.

      I took my mother to the office in Sycamore, Illinois. The Hearing Care Practitioner was very thorough. She did a fantastic job explaining the results to my mom. No question left unanswered. More importantly her aids she purchased are now 3 years old and doing great. When they do stop working it is because they are clogged with wax and mom forgot to clean them. We couldn't be happier and hope you will give them a try. Couldn't be more pleased.

      I have been using hearing aids for the last 10 years or so. First one was Oticon "In the canal", after using it three years or more I upgrade it to higher one. Same brand. Both are still working perfect till now. A year ago I contacted my insurance company to buy new expensive good hearing aids, they refer me to an agent who sells Beltone, he convinced me that Beltone is way much better than the ones I have.

      I bought them and paid $4500.00. Since then I had to return them for repair many times for different reasons, they just keep to stop working. Yes they have free service for three time in first year, and three years warranty, but after the three times the agent start charging me for handling the service, he did that two times so far, ten days was between the two times, don't know when they will stop working again.

      In short, they are the worst hearing aids, my old cheap ones are much better. I decided to put the Beltone aside and go back to use my old Oticon. My advise is: buying Beltone is buying a headache. They are expensive and don't worth the money. First year and had to be returned more than four times for fixing, god knows what will come in the coming two years, and how many times they will be returned for fixing. After all, it's a loss of $4500.00. Thanks to BELTONE.

      I had an appointment with them today but no one could let me know that they would be out of the office today. So I make the drive there, which by the way takes me a little more than an hour to get to, only to find a sign on the door stating they'd be out of the office today. If you're going to have a business please take the time to call your patients and let them know that you are not going to be in the office the day of their appointment and have them reschedule rather than them having to drive all the way there and waste gas and not be seen.

      I purchased two pairs of Beltone Hearing aids and had problems with each pair. First, the right one stopped working and they had to send it back. Then, the left one quit and the same results. The second upgraded pair was no better. The right one quit working and had to be replaced again. Soon it fell apart and the left one stopped working altogether. Had to go back to my old pair until the right one quit again. I will never buy Beltone again. Poor quality products.

      Our family wanted Faye to have quality hearing aids, after not much success with cheaper aids. Now she has died & it seems to be no way to get even a partial rebate / refund of the $5000+ cost. Beltone reps keep telling me to give them to someone who needs them. I realize the outer shell is custom for her ear; however I would like even a partial refund of the receiver which works fine.

      According to online Belton ads: "schedule a Free appointment... free comprehensive eval." Then in person Diane said, Free exams ONLY if you agree to buy our aids, OR, free but we'll give you no results or audiogram (if you go elsewhere). From ads, I expected new audiograms I would send to my hearing aid provider thru my health insurance, and I said so right from the start. This Beltone provider, Diane, had very poor customer service skill, as well as generally unfriendly attitude. I was shocked. I only researched their ads AFTER I returned home from this upsetting experience. (Also, the receptionist did NOT know WHY she required to copy my driver's license. "Just policy" is not a sufficient reason.)

      I made an inconvenient trip to the Beltone store to check out what was apparently $998 hearing aids. I have 2 degrees and a certificate in graphic arts and I couldn’t tell the flyer price was for one aid. What would an elder person with comprehension problems do? I doubt many people need one hearing aid. I’m very disappointed in Beltone intentions or unintentional bait and switch.
