    So “ironbound-operion” is complaining about having to pay only $2,300 for cochlear implants that cost $23k?

      No, they are complaining that a single replacement part for a cochlear implant, which they already paid for, has a base cost anywhere near $23k, since there is simply no way that a processor chip costs that much, and it’s clearly price gouging.
