Bummer. Just got a letter from my hearing aid insurance...they won't insure for another year. My aids are now 8 years old, and they have insured for 7 years after the warranty year. They won't insure once the aids get that old. My audiologist warned me this might happen this year. She was right. :/ It is good insurance against full loss & replacement as well as damage. Since my aids no longer can do what I need them to do, as my hearing has dropped twice in the 8 years, so now even as digitals, they cannot be adjusted any further to help, I have known for 2 years I need new aids. Just haven't the $$$ nor do we qualify for any of the benefit programs available as DH is still working full-time. My audiologist said a new kind of aid is going to be available come Fall, that she thinks will help me, and be much less expensive than $6000 for new digitals (which is out of the question for us now). So, I'll be "flying without a net" w/ no insurance from July 'til Fall. At least I can put the insurance money toward the new aids. Maybe I'll only get one aid this year; one new one next year, and hope my old ones keep functioning as long as I need.
Does anyone here carry insurance on their aids?
