As technology has improved, hearing aids have also become more advanced. You can now connect them to your smartphone via Bluetooth to listen to music, watch videos, and take phone calls.
However, with these advancements, the cost of hearing aids has gone up. This might make you consider getting hearing aid insurance to cover accidental damage or theft. Let’s explore what hearing aid insurance offers.
Hearing aids are valuable and delicate devices that can be easily lost or damaged. Given their high cost, replacing or repairing them can be quite expensive. By having insurance for hearing aids, you are protected against accidental damage or theft, ensuring you can quickly and affordably replace them if needed.
Hearing aid insurance can be worthwhile for several reasons, including:
Losing or damaging hearing aids can significantly affect the daily lives of those over 50. It can result in difficulties hearing essential sounds like your phone or doorbell, understanding conversations, and enjoying TV or radio. Additionally, replacing or repairing hearing aids can be expensive.
With hearing aid insurance, you can swiftly address these issues, ensuring your hearing aids function perfectly and allowing you to comfortably continue your everyday activities.
At Saga, we offer hearing aid insurance as part of our comprehensive home insurance plans. With Saga Select contents insurance, you can opt to cover accidental damage to your home contents, including hearing aids. Alternatively, choose Saga Plus, which automatically covers your home contents up to £10,000.
If you rent your home, you can get renters contents insurance. With a Saga Select policy, you have the option to add cover for accidental damage to belongings in your home, including hearing aids. Meanwhile, Saga Plus provides automatic cover.
The cost to replace a lost hearing aid varies based on where you got it. Some NHS trusts charge between £50 and £135 for a replacement. If you bought it from somewhere else, the cost depends on their policy. For example, at Specsavers, replacing a lost hearing aid within the first four years costs 50% of the original price.
If you want more options for hearing aids, consider going private. Private treatments can be expensive, so check prices first and compare what different providers offer.
If your home insurance policy includes hearing aid coverage, they are considered personal possessions and are protected against accidental damage, loss, or theft. Be sure to review your policy to confirm if it covers accidental damage or theft of home contents.
