Cheap hearing aids don't work unless you have completely uniform hearing loss. Most people don't. My hearing loss is all in the mid-frequency range, so the hearing aids have to be tailored for that. If it amplified everything, it would be a waste of time. The low and high frequencies would be amplified as well and continue to drown out the mid-frequencies.
My current ones were purchased from Protea Wellness Audiology in Quesada. I've had them for over 3 years now and I wear them all day, every day. I've never managed to do this, with the other 2 sets. They cost about 3k, which was the same price as the first set I got, in 2002. Yes, they're expensive and probably over priced for what they are, but,as the saying goes, there's no pockets in a shroud. I can't envisage being without them now. They have honestly made a huge difference to my life.

Just to let readers know I recieved the cheap hearing aids and they are virtually identical to the very expensive one and I paid the massive sum of 14 euros post free and the verdict is that the do what they are supposed to do that is to make me hear better
I have a friend who paid abot 100 euros more for his and he has the same result he can now hear and like me can do other things with the 3000 euros we have saved
By the way they came with spare batteries and plastic covers for easy cleaning
