Hearing aid prices in Australia
Premium hearing aids at TellyHear run from $1,690 to $4,300 per aid, across 66 models from 8 brands. Every price includes programming and fitting by an Australian audiologist.
How much do hearing aids cost in Australia? The answer varies much more than many people expect, because providers structure their fees differently. Hearing aid prices in Australia can appear confusing when clinics bundle the device, fitting, and aftercare into one large sum, obscuring the true hearing aid cost. This makes it difficult to compare quotes and understand what you're really paying for. At TellyHear, we list the device price clearly on every product page.
TellyHear hearing aid cost is transparent, with devices priced from $1,690 to $4,300 per aid. You can choose from 56 models across Essential, Advanced and Elite levels from eight leading brands including Phonak, Oticon, and Signia. Every purchase includes programming to your audiogram and remote fitting by Lachlan Smith, a senior clinical audiologist with over 15 years' experience. You also get remote adjustments, a 45-day money-back trial, a 3-year warranty, and free shipping Australia-wide.
Australians can reduce their hearing aid outlay in several ways. Eligible pensioners and veterans may receive subsidised or fully covered devices through the Australian Government Hearing Services Program. Many private health extras policies provide rebates. Clients who send TellyHear a recent audiogram save $500 on a pair. Interest-free payment plans are also available.

Hearing aid prices by technology level
Three levels of technology. The right one depends on how much background noise you deal with, not on paying the most.
Level one
Essential
from $1,690 per aid
If hearing aid cost needs to stay modest, Essential technology level starts from $1,690 per aid. It’s programmed to your audiogram and fitted by Lachlan, our Australian audiologist, with a 45-day trial and 3-year warranty. Suits quieter routines like TV, one-on-one chats and family conversations.
Level two
Advanced
$2,190 to $3,395 per aid
Need more from your hearing aid technology levels? Advanced ranges from $2,190 to $3,395 per aid, with stronger noise reduction for cafes, group chats and regular socialising. It’s programmed to your audiogram and fitted by Lachlan, with a 45-day trial and 3-year warranty.
Level three
Elite
$2,995 to $3,885 per aid
For busy, demanding listening, Elite hearing aid prices from $2,995 to $3,885 per aid. This level adjusts automatically, offering the most support in restaurants, meetings and group settings. It’s programmed to your audiogram and fitted by Lachlan, with a 45-day trial and 3-year warranty.
Every price includes programming to your audiogram, fitting by Lachlan, a 45-day money-back trial and a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
The price you see is the price with care included
Elsewhere, one big number often hides the device price inside the fitting. We publish the hearing aid price clearly, and every pair still includes all of this.

Learn moreWhat actually changes as the price goes up
Many people comparing hearing aid prices ask how much do hearing aids cost. The answer becomes clearer when devices are grouped into hearing aid technology levels. At TellyHear, Essential, Advanced and Elite levels differ in technology, not in the care around them. We sell 56 models across 8 brands: Phonak, Oticon, Signia, Starkey, Widex, ReSound, Unitron and Beltone. Essential starts from $1,690 per aid, Advanced runs $2,190 to $3,395 per aid, and Elite runs $2,995 to $3,885 per aid.
As you move through hearing aid technology levels, higher-priced models add stronger noise reduction, more focused directional processing that favours the voice in front of you, and better speech clarity in background noise. They also adjust more automatically as environments change. These gains show up most in restaurants, groups and busy social settings, where many conversations compete for attention. For quieter routines, an Essential level model can still be programmed precisely to your audiogram by Lachlan.
What does not change with price is equally important. Every level is programmed to your audiogram and fitted remotely or in clinic by Lachlan Smith, a senior clinical audiologist with more than 15 years of experience. All levels include a 45-day money-back trial, a 3-year manufacturer warranty, free shipping Australia-wide and ongoing remote adjustments at no extra cost. Many models at every level are rechargeable and stream from iPhone and Android.
How to choose the right level
Choosing the right level starts with how much background noise you deal with, not with paying the most. If you are mostly at home watching TV and having one-on-one conversations, an Essential model is often enough. If you regularly spend time in cafes, meetings and family gatherings, Advanced or Elite technology is designed to help you follow speech more comfortably in noise. It is worth checking whether private health extras, the Hearing Services Program or a recent audiogram discount can reduce hearing aid prices before you decide.

Comparing hearing aid brands and prices
Hearing aid brand prices often overlap more than you might expect. A top-tier hearing aid from one brand can cost about the same as a top-tier from another, while entry-level options are less. That’s because every hearing aid brand builds devices across several technology levels. The tier you choose (Essential, Advanced or Elite) determines how you manage background noise, more than the brand. Compare hearing aids by the technology level you need, not the badge.
No matter which of the eight hearing aid brands you choose, every device is a genuine unit, backed by a full 3-year Australian manufacturer warranty. Each hearing aid is programmed to your personal audiogram and fitted by Lachlan Smith, our senior clinical audiologist with over 10,000 fittings. You also receive a 45-day money-back trial and free shipping Australia-wide. So while hearing aid brand prices vary, the clinical care and after-sales support do not.
Use the price table to compare hearing aids by technology tier, not the brand name. Decide whether an Essential, Advanced or Elite tier suits your hearing needs and listening environments, then compare pricing for that tier across brands. A higher price often reflects subtle feature differences, but all devices at that tier are programmed to your audiogram and fitted by Lachlan. This helps you find value where it matters, without being swayed by a logo.
Price questions, answered
What hearing aids cost, what is included, and the ways to pay less.
How much do hearing aids cost in Australia?
At TellyHear a single hearing aid runs from $1,690 to $4,300, so a pair is roughly $3,380 to $8,600 before any funding. Every price already includes programming and fitting by an Australian audiologist.
Why are your prices lower than a clinic?
Many clinics quote one large number that bundles the device, the fitting and the aftercare together, which hides the real device price. We publish the hearing aid price clearly, include the fitting, and take $500 off a pair when you send a recent audiogram.
Can I get hearing aids for free or subsidised?
Often, yes. Around half of the people we help are covered through the Australian Government Hearing Services Program or the DVA. If you hold a pensioner concession or DVA card, we can check your eligibility and handle the paperwork.
Do I have to pay all at once?
No. You can spread the cost with an interest-free payment plan, and combine it with any private health rebate or discount you are entitled to.
Is the fitting included in the price?
Yes. The price on every product includes programming and fitting by our audiologist, plus ongoing remote support, a 45-day money-back period and a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
What is the $500 saving?
If you already have a recent audiogram and a photo of each ear, we take $500 off a pair. It is optional, and you never need one to browse or buy.
