Hearing aid insurance
Hearing aids you have received from the national health service are considered your property and responsibility. With separate insurance, you are covered for the vast majority of events.
Do I need to insure hearing aids?
Hearing aids are small, but expensive items. In Norway, anyone who has permanently impaired hearing on one or both ears can have hearing aids covered by the national health service.
When you’ve received a hearing aid, it’s your property. This means that if an accident happens and, for example, your hearing aid is lost or damaged, you must replace the device yourself. The public health service does not cover new equipment until at least 6 years have passed since you last received a hearing aid. That’s why it’s a good idea to get separate hearing aid insurance, so you’re covered for almost every type of event.
What does hearing aid insurance cover?
In some cases, your hearing aids will be covered by home contents insurance and travel insurance . The advantage of separate hearing aid insurance is that you’re covered for losses and almost all types of damage, including when in use and when travelling.
