I don't know about commodities, but hearing aid prices are skyrocketing. My mother lost a hearing aid recently. When she went to replace it she was told that the price for that particular hearing aid had risen 30% in the 2 years since she bought it.

Sure looks like hearing aid manufacturers have a lot of pricing power to put it mildly. Insurance rates and real estate prices also are surging. So while some sectors indeed are suffering from deflation, others are really sticking it to consumers and have plenty of pricing power.
