Beltone Hearing Aid Review: 2025 Cost and Pricing

Pros and Cons of Beltone Hearing Aids

Beltone Hearing Aid Models

Beltone offers some of the most technologically advanced hearing instruments on the market. Most of their devices can integrate with your iPhone or Android device, allow direct streaming, and use rechargeable batteries.

Here is an overview of their current models.

Beltone Imagine

Touted by Beltone as having a tailored sound experience, the Beltone Imagine hearing aid serves up the latest in hearing technology. Suited for mild to severe hearing loss, this model is especially discreet (a great feature for those new to hearing aids). Here are a few unique features of the Beltone Imagine.

• Unique Microphone & Receiver-in-Ear technology eliminates unnatural noise, providing an unparalleled hearing experience.
• CrossLink Directionality 3 constantly monitors all surrounding sounds and automatically adjusts to deliver perfect sound in any environment.
• Ultra Focus fine-tunes speech clarity so you can tune in to the important stuff within noisy surroundings.
• Hands-free calling is made simple via Bluetooth low energy (shorter distance wireless for seamless communication between devices).
• Audio streaming comes directly from your iPhone or Android device with no delays.
• Rechargeable or non-rechargeable options are available in eight neutral colors.

Beltone Amaze

Another great option for those with mild-to-severe hearing loss, the Beltone Amaze, is available in all styles. It uses rechargeable lithium batteries, and it can be managed through a user-friendly smartphone app. Below are a few features of the Beltone Amaze we found particularly useful.

• Micro-processing technology in the Beltone Amaze is the fastest yet and promises clear and vivid hearing in whatever environment you may find yourself in.
• Eight color options are available to complement your skin or hair, making it easier for your device to “blend in.”
• Direct audio streaming connects your Beltone Amaze to your iPhone or Android device. You can easily watch videos and listen to podcasts with no delays or interference.
• A portable charger allows you to charge batteries on the go and keeps hearing aids secure in your wireless, compact charging device.

Beltone Rely

Beltone’s Rely hearing aids are great for those on a budget who don’t want to compromise on quality or comfort. This hearing device is suitable for mild to severe hearing loss. Here are some special features you can expect from the Beltone Rely.

• Water-resistant: Nanoblock coating protects devices from water damage. As your hearing aids will often be exposed to the elements and fluids (such as sweat), this invisible layer of extra protection will help keep worries of damage at bay.
• A sleek portable charger: The Rely battery lasts up to 30 hours on a full charge.
• Access to app: You can download the Beltone HearMax app to control volume and adjust sounds from the convenience of your smartphone. This lets you easily match your hearing preferences for your Beltone Rely hearing aids.

Beltone Boost Ultra

For those who need hearing aids for severe hearing loss, Beltone provides an innovative solution with their new Boost Ultra model for those with severe to profound hearing loss. The Boost Ultra is 20 percent more battery efficient than the earlier Boost Max model. Here are some features this model can offer those with more acute hearing loss.

• An improved processing chip provides faster sound delivery and exceptional sound quality (including clarity and speech). This comprehensive sound processor allows you to personalize your hearing experience and balance awareness of multiple sounds at once.
• Tinnitus breaker is built right into the device. This technology helps train your brain away from selectively hearing irritating sounds, such as buzzing or ringing. An extremely low stream of white noise is used automatically to help reduce the focus on irritating sounds in a process called “acoustic therapy.”
• Discreet behind-the-ear style comes in 5 hair and skin tones for a more low-key appearance.
• Beltone HearMax App gives you complete control of your device as well as on-demand support from Beltone professionals. You can also track your hearing instruments from your phone if you happen to misplace them.

Beltone Hearing Aids Pricing

Innovative technology often comes with a hefty price tag. Beltone hearing aids range from around $2,800 to $8,000 — much higher than the national average of $2,400. However, some may view this higher price level as an investment — as the purchase of a Beltone device guarantees free on-demand servicing and hearing tests.

Beltone attributes their higher price point to their superior technology (constantly improved through leading research) and the extensive resources they provide their customers. To help mitigate costs for customers, Beltone runs a trade-in program. You can choose to trade-in your old hearing aids for a discount on your new purchase. Beltone also offers leases on their products through a partnership with Allegro credit.

It’s also important to note that Medicare does not cover costs for hearing aids or hearing aid exams. However, if you have alternative insurance, it’s possible that your policy will cover hearing instruments. Additionally, those with Veterans Administration (VA) benefits may qualify for full coverage of their hearing aids.

In order to purchase Beltone hearing aids, you can call or book online for an initial appointment with a Beltone hearing professional at the closest Beltone retail center. At the appointment, you will receive a hearing test from a hearing professional and will be walked through your device options.

Beltone Hearing Aid Repair

Beltone offers hassle-free hearing aid repair solutions for customers that need assistance with sound quality, battery life, and other technical issues. You can choose from two repair plans: Restore Premium at $349 per hearing aid, or Restore Essential at $249 per hearing aid. I’ll break down the specific plans below:

Restore Premium: This repair plan starts at $349 per hearing aid and includes a 12-month warranty, ground shipping, shipping insurance of up to $100, risk-free repairs, and a 10-point cleaning. It also has twice the warranty.

Restore Essential: This repair plan starts at $249 per hearing aid and includes a 6-month warranty, ground shipping, shipping insurance of up to $100, risk-free repairs, and a 10-point cleaning. If you’re looking to save money but still get repair coverage, then this plan is a great value.

You can also purchase add-ons such as a Restore Box for $39 and Shipping Insurance for $79 which covers the round trip.

Beltone Accessories

Beltone offers a range of accessories to bring your hearing experience to the next level. You can purchase these accessories via their online store, as well as at your local retailer.

Beltone MyPAL Micro: If you have difficulty hearing, this device helps extend your hearing by up to 25 meters through its portable microphone. It works best in noisy environments such as restaurants and family gatherings, and is able to help you hear clear and crisp sound through a small microphone. With a long battery life of 10 hours, the Beltone MyPAL Micro is a great accessory to add-on. Price: $350

Beltone MyPAL Pro: This device is similar to the MyPAL Micro, in that it helps extend your hearing by up to 82 feet so you can hear clear conversations directly into your hearing aids. You can place this device on a table and it will automatically switch to a “table mode” setting that can easily detect the voices of several speakers at a time. I’d recommend using the Beltone MyPAL Pro at the dinner table, conferences, shopping malls, or other noisy places. Price: $425

Beltone TV Link 2: This device offers high-quality audio streamed directly from your TV or computer and straight to your Beltone hearing aids, using 2.4GHz technology. It’s compatible with Beltone Imagine, Beltone Amaze, Beltone Rely, and Beltone Boost Ultra. It can stream sound for approximately 22 feet. This device lets you easily adjust TV volume and eliminate background room noise as needed. Price: $450

Beltone Remote Control 2: This device puts maximum control of your instruments in the palm of your hands. Control streaming, volume level, balance, and even block out additional sounds. With this remote control, you can also easily adjust the volume on one or two hearing aids. What’s more, it has a long rechargeable battery life and you can easily switch between streaming TV shows or audio from the radio. Price: $325

Beltone Phone Link 2: This lightweight device lets you talk on the phone hands-free with a direct, high-quality audio stream straight to your hearing aids. When you get a call, you’ll hear the ring directly in your hearing aids. With dual microphones and a noise reduction feature, this device is great for adjusting your hearing aid volume and environmental settings. Price: $350

Beltone Apps

Beltone devices are accompanied by user-friendly phone apps to streamline sound customization and offer direct access to hearing professionals.

Beltone HearMax: Described as “the most advanced app for hearing aids,” this free app pairs with the latest Beltone hearing aids. Features include volume and setting control, a tracker for misplaced hearing devices, direct customer service, and Apple Watch compatibility. This app is programmed to work with older Beltone models: the Beltone First and Beltone Boost.

Beltone HearPlus: This app has similar features to HearMax, but is programmed to work with older Beltone models such as the Beltone First and Beltone Boost. You can control your hearing aids from your iPhone or Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Beltone SmartRemote: This app turns your phone screen into a remote so you can easily adjust volume, reduce sounds, and switch between listening programs.

Tinnitus Calmer: This app is designed to help alleviate symptoms of tinnitus by shifting focus using sound therapy and relaxing sounds. It’s available on the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Android devices.
