We're here to make your hearing care as affordable as possible

Paying for your hearing aids

Explore your funding options

Hearing aids are packed with incredible technology, and that comes with a cost. But we believe everyone deserves access to better hearing. That’s why we offer a range of flexible options to make hearing care more affordable. We can help you explore government funding programs such as Enable New Zealand, ACC, or Veteran Affairs funding, which provide subsidies for eligible individuals. Your private health insurance may also offer rebates for hearing care. And, to make things even easier, we’ve partnered with Q Card to provide interest-free* payment plans over 6, 12, 18, 24, or 36 months, so you can get the hearing support you need now and spread the cost over time. The good news is there are plenty of ways to manage the cost of your hearing care, and our team is here to guide you through them.

Enable government support

Enable New Zealand provides a hearing aid subsidy contribution towards the cost of your new hearing aids.

We can help you determine your eligibility and guide you through the application process.

ACC claims and funding

If your hearing loss is a result of workplace noise exposure or accident, you may be eligible for funded hearing aids by ACC.

Find out more about the ACC funding.

Veterans' affairs funding

You may be eligible for funding for hearing aids, hearing assistive listening devices and batteries if you have Qualifying Service and either:

have hearing loss or tinnitus because of this Qualifying Service,
or you get Weekly Income Compensation because hearing loss or tinnitus is stopping you from working.

Speak with us to find out if you are eligible.

Work and Income (WINZ) support

A WINZ loan may be available to New Zealand residents to contribute towards the purchase of hearing aids.

In order to establish an individual’s eligibility to meet this criteria WINZ requires a letter and quote from your hearing specialists. Speak with us today to find out if you are eligible.

Private health insurance

Your private health insurance could cover some of your hearing care. Many providers offer extras cover for hearing tests, consultations, hearing aids, and more. Since coverage varies, we recommend checking with your health fund directly to understand your entitlements and potential rebates.
