Seems pretty reasonable to an able-bodied person who can pull an income. A ton of disabled people cannot, and US medicaid often has disgustingly low limits.
Yeah wheelchairs look to be around hearing aid prices by that, though with much more room on both ends (yeah I know you can get dirt cheap HAs that are the auditory equivalent of reading glasses, but they’re the auditory equivalent of reading glasses)
NotAWheelchair (owned by YouTuber Jerryrig Everything) sells custom models for 1,200 to $2,000. Not sure if the customization they offer is everything you meant, but they seem to be offering some competition to the market.
Basic models: Starting around $1,200 to $2,000 for travel chairs.
Mid-range options: Typically between $2,500 and $5,000.
High-end models: Can exceed $10,000 for advanced features and customization.
Customized models: Prices can go up to $5,000+ for specialized needs.
Seems pretty reasonable to me, not sure what their point was. The ear implants are crazy, wheelchairs aren’t.
