Miracle-Ear is a popular hearing aid brand, but the best option for you depends on your needs and type of hearing loss.

Corporate history and the Miracle-Ear Foundation® Kenneth Dahlberg briefly sold his company to Motorola in 1959 but bought it back only 5 years later in 1964 when Motorola divested itself of consumer products. Miracle-Ear began franchising in 1984. Dahlberg sold the company to Bausch & Lomb in 1993.

Kenneth H. DahlbergMiracle-Ear / Founder Ken Dahlberg: An American Entrepreneur Ken Dahlberg, founder of Miracle-Ear, was an American through and through. Growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, he milked cows and shot squirrels as a kid. At 24, he joined the Army Air Corps.

Founded in 1948, Miracle-Ear is a medical device company headquartered in Minneapolis. It manufactures behind-the-ear (BTE), in-the-ear (ITE) and receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids.

Miracle-Ear hearing aids cost around $1,000 to $4,000 per device. While this is more expensive than budget providers on the market, every purchase comes with lifetime support and yearly hearing evaluations to ensure that you're getting the most out of your hearing aid.

TV Ears first began in 1998 in Huntington Beach, California in a small living room. Today, TV Ears is the #1 selling doctor recommended brand for TV listening.

Our line of hearing aids is specially created to amplify sounds selectively―helping to minimize background noise and improve the sounds and voices we most want to hear. The hearing aids are constantly processing all sound to minimize distractions and create clearer sounds, which are easier to understand.

Through the microphone, sounds in your environment are picked up and converted into a digital signal. The amplifier increases the power of the signal, which is then sent into your ear through a speaker (also known as a receiver).

Miracle-Ear hearing aids tend to offer good sound quality and are a discreet option for people with varying degrees of hearing loss.

The average life expectancy of hearing aids is somewhere between three and seven years.
