    I have a set of Siemens ones that were like 4k

    You do get custom made inserts specifically for your ears, extremely precise tuning to adjust your hearing loss, they’re way less visible than earbuds, the batteries last 15 hours, wireless charging, free retuning and adjustments for life and free cleaning for life

    Plus, just using earbuds to increase the volume will damage your hearing further, a good audiologist will have studied for years to improve your hearing without damage

    Wouldn’t say it’s the best 4k I’ve spent but it’s fucking life changing

      My grandfather is really not subtle when he wants me to get him something. He recently wanted hearing aids because the ones he has now with the over-the-ear wires were cutting into his ears. I would’ve loved to get him some high-end ones, but I’m not THAT well off. I ended up getting him some ~$100 ones. I couldn’t imagine $4k.
