Hi, TLC,

You have to shop around for the best price. I paid $2700 for everything in Januaary but I had higher quotes from other audiologists.

I'm in the Boston area.  I paid $2900 - $2600 for the TransEar unit itself (which is refundable in the first 30? 60? days), and $300 for the audiologist fees.

Turnkey, your price seems a tad high.  Mine was around $3,000. almost two years ago.  You definitely want an audiologist who has fitted a TransEar, allows call backs, and who is patient with people.  You will love TransEar.

I live in the Phiily area and the fee was 3200 which was for the Transear and the audiologist.  I really find it so very helpful.
