Payment Options

Hearing aids range in price based on style and technology. Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center is pleased to provide the following payment options to meet the various needs of our patients.

Self-Pay: Cost varies according to model selected, which is based on your hearing loss, lifestyle and budget. Typical costs range from $1,200-$3,000 for each hearing aid. Our self-pay costs include a loss and damage warranty for 3 years and office services at no charge for 5 years. 

Medicare: Traditional Medicare does not cover the cost of Hearing aids. However, we are a provider for many Medicare Advantage plans which are now offering hearing aid benefits. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs are dependent on your plan. Our friendly staff can help you determine your benefit. Most of these plans use a Third Party Hearing Aid Administrator and we participate with many including: TruHearing, Hearing Care Solutions, United Hearing Healthcare, Nations Hearing, Hear USA, and Amplifon. 

Medicaid: CHSC participates with Medicaid and many Medicaid Managed care plans such as Caresoure, Anthem, United Health Community Plan and others. 

Commercial Insurance: CHSC participates with most commercial insurance plans. Our friendly staff can verify your benefits for you. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs are dependent on your plan. 

Audiology Patient Assistance Program (APA): A sliding-fee scale program for those who financially qualify (CLICK HERE FOR APA APPLICATION) significantly reducing the cost for the patient. APA funding can be used for hearing aids, Hearing aid repairs assistive devices and professional audiology services.
