Frequently Asked Questions
Does your insurance cover hearing aids?
In the UK, hearing aids are available for free through the NHS if prescribed based on clinical need. Private hearing aids, offering more advanced features, can be purchased separately. Most private health insurance policies do not cover hearing aids directly but may contribute to assessments or consultations. Coverage varies between providers and policies. It's important to review individual insurance plans for specific details. Read more in our article.
What type of hearing loss do you have?
There are three types of hearing loss:
- Conductive: conductive hearing loss affects the outer or middle ear, often due to blockages.
- Sensorineural: sensorineural hearing loss involves damage to the inner ear or nerve pathways, typically from aging or noise exposure
- Mixed: Mixed combines both.
A hearing test with an audiologist can help identify your type, guide treatment options and suggest the best types of hearing aids.
Where can you get your hearing tested?
You can have your hearing checked at various locations, including:
- local audiology clinics
- hearing aid retailers
- large pharmacies with hearing care services
Many clinics offer free hearing tests or consultations to evaluate your hearing health. Additionally, specialized centers such as ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) clinics or hospitals with audiology departments can provide more detailed examinations.
