Diagnostic evaluations are usually covered if a physician or doctor orders them to diagnose a medical condition or develop a treatment plan for a medical condition. But health insurance companies usually do not cover hearing aids.

Many folks have Medicare, which also does not cover hearing aids for adults. But Medicare will cover one type of hearing assistance device called a bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA). Although technically a hearing device, Medicare considers it a prosthetic device and not a traditional hearing aid, so it is covered.

For eligible children and young adults ages 21 and under, Medicaid will pay for the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss, including hearing aids, under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) service. Also, children may be covered by their state’s early intervention program or State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).

If you need help paying for a hearing aid, some nonprofit organizations provide financial assistance, while others may help provide used or refurbished hearing aids.

A person who leads and active lifestyle, who travels to a variety of settings, and who needs a nearly-invisible hearing aid will need a model that performs better and likely costs more than other models. They may need dual microphones, which is a feature many of our clients have been quite satisfied with. Someone who stays at home and has little interaction with noise will not need a high-performance model. This is why we ask so many questions about your lifestyle; we want to match you with the right model. Like most technology in this world, the price you pay depends on which features and functionality you need. In addition to your preferences, we have to take into consideration any recommendations from your healthcare professional.

We have a great trial and refund policy for all our hearing aids, usually 30 days from the date of purchase. During this period, you can try out your hearing aids or come back for any fitting adjustments. If you’re not happy with your purchase for any reason we will refund your hearing aids during the trial period (minus a small fitting/restocking fee).
