Hearing aid prices range on average from 15,000 TL to 50,000 TL. On this page we explain what the price includes and what determines it.
For many people, a high price is a barrier to using a hearing aid. It does not have to be. There is a lot to consider when it comes to price. A hearing aid is an important investment: you wear it seven days a week, for most of your waking hours. It is important to choose a long-lasting, durable hearing aid that suits your needs.
How much do hearing aids cost?
The average price of an adult hearing aid is about 15,000 to 50,000 TL. The price depends on the technology level of the hearing aid.
At Pendik Ses İşitme, we work with Widex, Signia, Phonak and Rexton hearing aids.
Basic hearing aids cost less, but they have fewer features and fewer adjustment options. For example, most high-end hearing aids have machine learning features.
Hearing aids for children usually cost less.
CROS hearing aids and cochlear implants are priced differently.
What does the price of a hearing aid include?
Whatever the price, it is important to know that you are not paying only for the device. A series of follow-up and fitting appointments may also come with it.
The purchase usually includes the hearing test, consultation, initial fitting, follow-up adjustments, routine cleaning and a manufacturer's warranty of one to three years. This is called bundled pricing. The warranty usually covers all repairs and may also offer a one-time replacement if the hearing aid is lost. Batteries may also be provided to get you started.
Some clinics may "unbundle" the cost of care services from the price of the device. With this structure, you buy services such as loss and damage cover in advance and pay for services such as cleaning as you use them.
Whatever the structure, ask your hearing specialist what the price includes so that you understand what you are buying.
Factors that affect hearing aid prices
The main factor in the price is the hearing aid's technology level and features. As with most electronic products, technology becomes less expensive over time, and this has also been the case with hearing aids.
While overall prices have stayed similar, the technology available for the same price has improved. Features once considered high-end can now be found in basic hearing aids too.
To offer hearing aids for different needs and budgets, manufacturers produce each product range at several performance levels. The highest level includes all the new features, such as advanced noise reduction and wireless connectivity. At lower levels, features become fewer and simpler as the price goes down.
Why do hearing aids cost so much?
The price covers the company's services as well as the cost of the device.
Part of the production cost comes from the research done to develop the technology.
How is the SGK contribution deducted from the price?
Pendik Ses İşitme is a centre contracted with SGK (Turkey's Social Security Institution). If you have a hearing aid report from an ear, nose and throat doctor and you are eligible, the SGK contribution is deducted from the amount you pay. We guide you through the process, from getting the report to the delivery of the hearing aid.

Questions About Prices and Payment
Does SGK pay for hearing aids?
Yes. With a report and prescription from an ear, nose and throat specialist, SGK covers part of the cost of the hearing aid. The amounts are set by SGK; for current information see our SGK guide or call us.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes, you can pay by credit card; instalment options depend on your bank and card type. We tell you the remaining amount and the payment plan in writing beforehand.
How many instalments are available for a hearing aid?
The number of instalments depends on your bank and card type. We share the current options at the payment stage or when you call us for information.
Does the SGK (Turkey's Social Security Institution) contribution affect payment in instalments?
The SGK contribution is first deducted from the price of the hearing aid; the instalment options apply to the remaining amount.
Does SGK (Turkey's Social Security Institution) cover hearing aids?
If you are insured with SGK, you are entitled to the SGK contribution towards a hearing aid. For this you need a medical report from an official health board that includes at least one ENT specialist. With this report you can receive the SGK contribution at hearing aid centres contracted with SGK.
What affects hearing aid prices?
As with mobile phones, hearing aid prices vary with the technology and features of the device. The right device for you is chosen according to your hearing loss, so the price varies accordingly. Keep in mind that a hearing aid is a personalised product.
