I'm astonished that hearing aids cost so much, given how thoroughly the personal-audio-hardware space has been colonized by cheap electronics. What's up with that?

My guess: "FDA regulates hearing aids, which are intended to compensate for hearing loss."

Regulation limits competition which keeps prices high.
