my son needs new aids and this is the first time we have purchased in 10+ years and they have went way up in price!!

he has a severe to profound loss in both ears. They are recommending the RESOUND AZURE $3000.00 each. He needs good aids as he is young and in business. Does anyone have any input? Are there other aids out there that are just as good but less expensive? Prices seems to be all over the place even on the same aids??
