Hearing aids in Colorado typically range from approximately $1,000 to $4,000 each, depending on the technology level, features, and brand. The price usually includes the hearing test, fitting, programming, follow-up care, and warranty. Comet Audiology fits hearing aids from all major brands and provides transparent pricing during your in-home consultation with no pressure and no surprise fees.

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover routine hearing aids or hearing aid fittings. However, Medicare Part B may cover diagnostic hearing exams ordered by a physician for medical reasons. Many Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans include hearing benefits for exams, hearing aids, and fittings as part of their extra benefits. Comet Audiology can help verify your benefits and recommend the most affordable path forward. (Note: Comet Audiology is not a lawyer or insurance advisor please confirm specifics with your plan provider.)

We require at least 24 hours advance notice for any cancellations or rescheduling. If notice is not provided within this timeframe, a $50 charge will be applied.

Healthy adults aged 18–40 should have their hearing tested every 3–5 years. Adults over 50 should test every 3 years, and adults over 60 should test annually. People exposed to loud noise at work, who already wear hearing aids, or who notice changes in hearing should test once a year. If you experience any sudden change in hearing, schedule a test right away.

As an independent mobile audiologist, Dr. Patel fits, programs, and services hearing aids from all major manufacturers, including Phonak, Oticon, Widex, Starkey, ReSound, Signia, and Unitron. This independence means recommendations are based on what's right for your hearing and lifestyle not on a manufacturer contract.

A comprehensive in-home hearing evaluation typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. This includes a case history conversation, otoscopic exam, full hearing test, audiogram review, and treatment plan discussion. Hearing aid fitting appointments usually take 45–60 minutes. Ear wax removal visits are shorter, often around 30 minutes.

An audiologist holds a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree and is trained to diagnose and treat the full range of hearing and balance disorders, including tinnitus and auditory processing concerns. A hearing instrument specialist primarily fits and dispenses hearing aids. For comprehensive diagnostic care and complex hearing concerns, an audiologist is the higher level of expertise.

Yes, and we strongly encourage it. For teens, a parent or guardian is welcome (and often required). For adults, having a spouse, family member, or trusted friend present helps with speech-in-noise testing and makes the conversation about treatment options easier to follow.

Correct. Every service Comet Audiology offers from your initial consultation and hearing test through hearing aid fitting, programming, follow-up adjustments, and ear wax removal is performed in the comfort of your own home. Real ear measurement and follow-up fine-tuning are also done on-site.
