While hearing devices can be life-changing, their price can be a barrier for many people. About 50 to 64% of older Americans who could benefit from hearing care technology cite \u201ccost\u201d as their major blockage in deciding whether to make a purchase.1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you or someone you know is one of them, here are a few tips to make buying hearing devices easier on you\u2014and your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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 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 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 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 87% of hearing device users report that hearing devices improve their overall quality of life.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to learn more about your options for paying for hearing devices or need to schedule an appointment?
