Hearing aid financing and payment plans

We are here to help you make your hearing aids more affordable

Important healthcare decisions should not be determined by cost, and hearing aids can be expensive. Thankfully, the Department of Social Protection Treatment Benefit Scheme contributes to the purchase price of hearing aids 

Hidden Hearing is an approved supplier of the Treatment Benefit Scheme, and we are familiar with the application process. We know that application forms can be tedious, and we regularly help our patients complete and submit their Treatment Benefit Scheme application.

1. Hearing aid grant for your hearing aid purchase

You could be entitled to free hearing aids through the PRSI government scheme; however, it’s important to get expert advice for the right device. At Hidden Hearing, our expert audiologists can steer you in the right direction. We will prescribe the most suitable hearing aids available to treat your hearing loss and assist you in applying for benefits under the scheme. The PRSI Treatment Benefit Scheme covers the cost of hearing aids up to €1,000*. Public support for hearing aids varies from year to year. In 2021, you can receive:

• The full cost of a hearing aid up to a maximum of €500 (€1,000 for a pair) once every fourth calendar year.
• The government will also pay the full cost of repairs for hearing aids, up to a maximum of €100, once every fourth calendar year.

3. Does your private health insurance cover hearing aids?

Generally, most health or medical insurance does not cover the purchase of hearing aids. However, coverage is dependent on your private health insurance plan. Some insurance companies provide partial or full coverage of a hearing aid. Others provide none at all.

In order to find out if your insurance covers hearing aids, you must review your contract with the insurance company. Adding hearing aid coverage on your current insurance plan may also be an option.

Hearing aid insurance

The easiest way to confirm your level of coverage is to call your private health insurance and ask them for further details about your plan. You are also welcome to call us if you would like to talk to one of our experts. Based on your insurance type, we may also be able to provide information about coverage.
