I'm going to be that annoying guy: They're free* in Scandinavia, including batteries for life.
* "Free" meaning "paid for by the tax-sponsored public health insurance", which people up here would call "free".
- grzm 9y agoAn alternative phrasing could be: > In Scandinavia, hearing aids (with a lifetime supply batteries) are supplied without additional cost as part of the national health care program.
- arghwhat 9y agoAh, thank you! That phrasing is much better, and saves the footnote, without which someone would surely respond about how it "clearly isn't free"...
