Affordable Hearing Aids and Insurance Coverage for Hearing Aids

According to the American-Speech-Language-Hearing Association, less than 25% of people who need hearing aids actually purchase them. We have found two reasons why people decide not to purchase hearing aids:

• They're too expensive
• Their initial experience with hearing aids was at a "big box" store or online retailer with minimal benefit

At Appalachian Audiology, we have a new program to provide affordable hearing aids. This is our bridge to better hearing...

The Bridge to Better Hearing Program- box store pricing with premium level services

The Bridge to Better Hearing Program allows us to offer “box store” pricing for hearing instruments with premium-level fitting, programming, and follow-up audiology services. The following quality instruments are offered in the Bridge program:

• Phonak Q30 Hearing Aids
• 8 Adjustable Frequency Channels
• Water and Dust Resistant
• Bluetooth compatible
• Siemens 101 Series Hearing Aids
• 6 Adjustable Frequency Channels
• Equipped with a tinnitus treatment feature (certain models)s
• Rechargeable (option)

These hearing instruments are part of our Bridge to Better Hearing Program and provide several valuable features for the budget-minded:

• Insurance coverage
• These hearing aids are medical devices which meet the requirements necessary to be covered by many major insurance policies
• Affordability
• These hearing aids cost much less than premium levels of hearing instrument technology yet have advanced circuits. They provide more than "just" amplification and offer generous repair and loss warranties. The circuits include:
  • SoundRecover
  • WhistleBlock
  • NoiseBlock
  • UltraZoom
• Advanced Technology
• These hearing instruments contain advanced circuits with fewer features than entry, mid-level, advanced, or premium levels of technology.
• Premium Service from our Clinical Audiologists
• The skill and experience expertise of the audiologist who programs the hearing instruments are then more important than the hearing instruments themselves. These hearing aids position our practice to offer “box store” pricing with premium-level programming service by providers credentialled by your insurance provider.
• Consumer protection includes a 30-day trial period. The hearing aids may be returned or exchanged and the insurance company will be notified.
