While most plans don\u2019t cover the entire cost of hearing devices, some will pay a portion. If your plan has a hearing health benefit, you will likely need to meet your deductible before your insurance covers any hearing device costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Determine if You Qualify for Government Assistance Programs<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, the VA, Tricare and Workers\u2019 Compensation are some programs that offer financial assistance for hearing devices. It\u2019s worth looking into these programs to see if you\u2019re eligible; however, be aware that some of them may limit the type of hearing technology and level of follow-up care you can receive.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore Financing Plans Offered by Your Provider<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These plans let you pay for your devices over time, making the cost more manageable. CareCredit\u00ae, a health and wellness credit card, allows you to pay for any deductibles or treatments your health insurance doesn\u2019t cover, including hearing devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think About Your Future Happiness<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The long-term benefits of investing in high-quality hearing devices are worth considering. While the upfront cost may be significant, the positive impact of being able to hear properly can be invaluable. Evidence shows that\u00a087% of hearing device users report that hearing devices improve their overall quality of life<\/a>.2<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
