Hearing aids are crucial for people with hearing loss. They can greatly improve your quality of life, but they can come at a significant cost. When you buy hearing aids, you’re paying for a custom service tailored to your hearing loss and the ongoing medical assistance and maintenance to preserve the aids long term. Fortunately, Aflac’s hearing insurance provided through our Dental, Vision and Hearing (DVH) Insurance plans can help reduce out-of-pocket costs.

Without insurance, hearing aids can cost between $2,000 and $7,000 per pair.1 Hearing aids usually are not covered by health insurance plans, but a supplemental hearing insurance policy (provides cash benefits for costs not covered by your primary insurance plan) can help reduce your out-of-pocket costs for hearing devices and necessary maintenance.
There are several factors that may impact the cost of hearing aids:
Health insurance does not typically cover hearing aids because hearing loss is considered a "likely risk," and insurers believe that too many people filing claims for hearing aids could reduce profits.2 However, 20 states require insurance companies to cover hearing aids for children in most plans, and four states allow for coverage for adults. Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) plans may also cover hearing services.4
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Help cover yourself and your family with coverage from Aflac.
