Hearing aids come in various types and most ideal and economical are behind the ear programmable hearing aids. Usually they cost around 15k to 25k. Whatever you see on the net are not really hearing aids but sound amplification devices. Hearing aids are more sophisticated devices and not merely amplification devices
