How to save money on hearing aids
Tips for Saving Money on Hearing Aids
While hearing aids’ costs can seem high, there are several ways to reduce the overall price and get more value for your money.
1. Shop around: Compare prices at different hearing aid providers to ensure you’re getting a good offer.
2. Look for bundled services: Some providers include hearing tests, fitting, and follow-up services in the price, which can save you money in the long run.
3. Use financing options: Take advantage of hearing aid financing options that allow you to spread the cost out over time and help you stay within your monthly budget.
4. Consider refurbished or basic models: If you’re on a tight budget, refurbished hearing aid models or hearing aids with fewer features may still meet your needs at a lower price point.
5. Use your health insurance or veterans benefits: Many insurance providers offer coverage for hearing aids, and veterans may be eligible for significant discounts or free services.

OTC hearing aids are now available for mild hearing loss as part of a federal law. However, it’s still important to have your hearing tested at a HearUSA center near you so you know your level of hearing loss. A specialist can let you know if OTC hearing aids are right for you, as moderate to severe loss would require prescription-grade hearing devices. It’s important to keep in mind that using the wrong type of hearing aid can damage your hearing further. Be sure to book your testing appointment before you invest, so you’re not wasting your money.
