A study examined the perception of pricing points by 78 audiologists through averaged actual contract pricing data of BTE and custom style hearing aids. The data showed three pricing points with an average percentage difference of 7.5%, highlighting a more significant difference of 15% with BTE style alone. This research contributes to understanding factors influencing hearing aid brand dispensing. The study by Johnson EE delves into determinants of Department of Veterans Affairs hearing aid brand dispensing by individual audiologists.
