Hearing Aid Brands and Prices Canada
If you're considering purchasing a hearing aid and want to ensure you're making a worthwhile investment in a premium pair. At EarAid, we offer some of the highest quality hearing aids available in Canada. As a reputable hearing clinic, we carefully evaluate six essential factors when recommending a hearing aid:
- Your hearing test results
- Lifestyle needs
- Occupation
- Cosmetic concerns
- Budget and price
- Family/friend’s concerns
After a thorough evaluation, our hearing professional will recommend the most suitable hearing aid option for your needs. Regular hearing tests are essential to ensure we provide the best recommendations possible. These tests enable us to accurately understand your individual hearing loss and communication needs.
Before discussing the cost of hearing aids, let's explore the topic more thoroughly.
The Price of Hearing Aid Styles & Types
Hearing aids come in various shapes and sizes, and surprisingly, the size doesn't affect the price. What determines the price is the sophistication of the chip inside the device. Later on, we'll examine the prices of different hearing aid brands in Canada. However, it's worth noting that although smaller hearing aids offer convenience, they may sacrifice certain features.
- Battery life
- Wireless connectivity such as Bluetooth streaming
- Advanced hearing aid features
- Rechargeability
As mentioned earlier, the style of a hearing aid doesn't have a direct impact on its cost. For example, a premium completely-in-the-canal (CIC) hearing aid typically costs the same as a premium receiver-in-the-canal (RIC) hearing aid.

Factors Determining the Appropriate Prescription and the Price of Hearing Aids
Lifestyle Needs
The hearing aid you choose can greatly impact your quality of life, influenced by factors such as your age, occupation, and lifestyle.
Premium hearing aids feature sophisticated algorithms and functionalities that facilitate easy listening, especially in noisy settings. Active individuals usually derive the greatest benefits from premium hearing aids. Nevertheless, for those with a more tranquil lifestyle, selecting hearing aids with advanced or standard-level technology still delivers significant advantages.
Premium hearing aids surpass other technology levels by providing superior assistance in noisy environments, delivering a more natural sound quality, and allowing for finer adjustments to match your personal sound preferences.
Occupation and Cosmetic Concerns
Hearing aids come in various sizes, with larger models typically featuring a more powerful receiver, leading to a higher maximum sound output for people with a very severe hearing loss. Superpower and Ultrapower behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids cater to individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. Most hearing aid styles now offer a rechargeable battery option, however replaceable batteries are available for certain models. Common battery sizes are 312, 10, 13, and 675. For those seeking a small, discreet hearing aid, recommended styles are completely-in-canal (CIC), invisible-in-canal (IIC), in-the-canal (ITC), or receiver-in-the-canal (RIC).
Financial Considerations
Ultimately, acquiring hearing aids is a pivotal move toward improving your quality of life, yet your financial circumstances are equally significant. Start by evaluating your budget. Dividing the cost into monthly expenses can aid in identifying the technology level that suits your financial situation best. Moreover, financial aid options may be available to assist with the cost.
Family Considerations
Ensuring effective communication and enjoyable family interactions is vital. If increasing the TV volume disrupts your household, consider a hearing aid that wirelessly connects to your TV via a TV Box. Likewise, if phone calls are challenging, explore hearing aids that connect to your landline or mobile phone. We're here to discuss the best options tailored to your lifestyle and requirements.

1. Basic Level Hearing Aid Pricing
“Basic level” hearing aids are the most budget-friendly option. They suit individuals who primarily spend time at home or in quiet environments. While they offer audibility, they come with minimal additional features. These hearing aids are best suited for improving hearing in low-noise settings. If you lead an active lifestyle, you may want to consider more advanced technology. A basic-level hearing aid typically costs around $1,300 per device. If you reside in Ontario and haven't purchased hearing aids in the last five years, you may be eligible for ADP funding or hearing aid coverage, which covers up to $500 per hearing aid. This reduces the cost to $800 per device.
2. Standard Level Hearing Aid Pricing
"Standard level" hearing aids represent an improvement over basic level devices in terms of features and quality. They are designed to facilitate effective hearing in relatively quiet environments while offering some assistance in noisy settings. However, they may not fully meet the needs of highly active individuals or those in demanding work environments. Prices for this level usually fall between $1,450 to $1,550 per hearing aid. If you're eligible for ADP in Ontario, your cost will range from $950 to $1,050 per device.
3. Advanced Level Hearing Aid Pricing
"Advanced level" hearing aids are a high-quality choice suitable for many individuals seeking excellent sound quality. These devices excel in delivering exceptional sound quality and enhanced listening in noisy environments. When selecting hearing aids, it's crucial to consider your lifestyle and daily activities. Are there specific settings where you struggle to hear? Advanced level technology proves particularly advantageous in challenging environments or amidst background noise. However, it may not offer as many features as premium hearing aids. Pricing for advanced level hearing aids typically falls between $1,950 to $2,200 per device. If you qualify for ADP, your cost ranges from $1,450 to $1,700.
4. Premium Level Hearing Aid Pricing
"Premium level" hearing aids offer top-tier technology, enhancing your listening experience and ensuring clear hearing even in dynamic environments. They come in various styles and can include rechargeable options and wireless connectivity to your mobile devices. If you struggle to hear in background noise, wind, while driving, or in other settings, premium hearing aids are the perfect solution for you. Premium technology delivers the most natural sound quality and is recommended for active individuals and those with demanding lifestyles in dynamic listening environments. The cost of premium level hearing aids typically falls between $2,450 and $2,750 per device. If you're eligible for ADP, your cost will range from $1,950 to $2,250 per device.
