Hearing aids are considered the most recommended treatment option for hearing-impaired patients. In India, the price of hearing devices can range from basic to premium depending on the brand and type of device. According to reports, nearly 5 of 100 people go for hearing aids. Many tend to avoid treatment because they are not aware. On the other hand, some avoid due to financial constraints. 

If you need to buy hearing aids, there is no need to step back because of the prices of hearing machines. 

Here’s what you can do. 

Can you get financial assistance for buying hearing aids? 

Hearing aids are generally not covered by private insurance companies under their medical plan. However, there are government-approved schemes like CSHS (Central Government Health Scheme) and WBHS (West Bengal Health Scheme), which covers the cost of hearing aids, stated an audiologist of a hearing aids clinic in Guwahati

Patients are advised to get hearing aids under the above schemes based on the prescriptions of a government-registered audiologist. Audiologists will recommend hearing aids based on the results of the hearing tests and even specify the type of hearing aids required. 

Also, if patients are prescribed digital hearing aids whose prices are a bit too high, the specific reason for not recommending analog digital devices must also be mentioned in the prescription. 

If financial crisis is depriving you of getting hearing aids, you can procure your required hearing device under the above schemes by taking permission from respective health authorities. 

An audiologist of a hearing aids clinic in Guwahati says that a large number of children also suffer from hearing impairment between the ages of 0-14 years. Hence National Program on Prevention and Control of Deafness (NPPCD) was launched to help families whose children can’t get hearing aids due to financial problems. 

Under the National Program on Prevention and Control of Deafness (NPPCD), Government of India, you are eligible to get BTE hearing aids free of cost under the following conditions:

  • Family income must be less than Rs. 6,500/- per month.
  • Children upto 14 years of age 
  • Must have sensorineural hearing loss or conductive hearing loss which can’t be treated medically or by surgical procedures. 
  • Must get ENT clearance
  • Hearing aids are not provided in case of ear infection or fluid discharge from ears. 

Does a private hearing aid centre provide assistance?
