“Free” Hearing Aids Scheme

July 31st, 2010

This week Hope has been pursuing her “free” hearing aids. After the hearing test and consultation on 14 June, Hope was given to understand that her aids would be free under the Federal Government scheme. Then the rules change after the 1 July, according to the audiologist, and Hope is asked to pay $800 for the aids, plus a $1000 “care plan” to cover loss, damage and maintenance over three years. This necessitated three phone calls to the Office of Hearing Services. The jury is still out.
