Yes, we offer patient financing for hearing aids. Financing lets you pay over time instead of all at once. Ask our team how it works for you when you book your visit. This page explains how payment plans work in general, and what to ask about any plan before you sign. We do not list lenders, rates or terms here.
Hearing aids cost about $200 to more than $8,000 a pair, as a broad market estimate as of October 2026. Our cost guide explains why the range is so wide. A payment plan does not change the price of the hearing aids. It changes when you pay.
“A payment plan does not change the price of the hearing aids. It changes when you pay.”
Financing and insurance are different
Insurance pays part of the cost, if your plan has a hearing aid benefit. Financing does not reduce what you owe. It spreads what you owe over a number of payments. You can use both. Some benefits pay you back after you pay the provider. In that case, financing can help you cover the cost while you wait for your claim. Our guides on hearing aid insurance and on employer and union benefits explain how to check your plan. Call us if you want our biller to check it.
How paying over time works
In most financing plans, you agree to a monthly payment for a set number of months. The plan may charge interest, fees, or both. The total you pay can be higher than the price of the hearing aids. The length of the plan changes the monthly payment. A longer plan has a lower monthly payment, but it can cost more in total. Ask our team about the choices that are open to you.
What to ask before you sign
Get the answers in writing. What is the total I will pay, including interest and fees? What is the interest rate? How many months is the plan, and what is each payment? Is there a fee for paying early? What happens if I pay late? Does the plan need a credit check? What does the quote include? Does it cover the fitting, follow-up visits, cleanings and the warranty? Our guide to questions before buying hearing aids lists more.
Watch for deferred interest
Some health care financing offers no interest for a set time. This is often called deferred interest. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has warned about it. If you do not pay the full balance before the promotional period ends, interest can be charged from the original purchase date. The CFPB also notes that minimum payments usually do not pay off the balance by the end of the promotional period. If a plan has a promotional period, ask for the end date and the monthly payment that clears the balance in time.
Other ways to lower the cost
Ask your plan about a hearing aid benefit. Hearing aids are generally an eligible expense for a flexible spending account or a health savings account. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) lists hearing aids among deductible medical expenses, to the extent that your medical expenses exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. Ask your tax adviser how this applies to you. Also ask whether a different technology level would meet your needs. A device does not need to be the newest to work well.
How to book
Call our Harrison office at (914) 949-0034 or our Somers office at (914) 556-6720. Start with a hearing test. After the test, your audiologist can give you a written quote built around your own hearing. Ask about financing when you book, and again when you have the quote.
Common questions
Do you offer payment plans for hearing aids?
Yes. We offer patient financing. Ask our team how it works for you when you book.
Does financing lower the price of hearing aids?
No. Financing spreads the cost over payments. Interest or fees can make the total higher than the price of the hearing aids. Ask for the total in writing.
Can I use insurance and financing together?
Often yes. Insurance pays part of the cost if your plan has a hearing aid benefit. Financing can cover the rest, or cover the cost while you wait for a reimbursement. Call us and our biller can check your plan.
What is deferred interest?
It is a no-interest offer for a set time. If you do not pay the full balance before the offer ends, interest can be charged from the first day. Ask for the end date.
Can I pay with an FSA or HSA?
Hearing aids are generally an eligible expense for a flexible spending account or a health savings account. Check the rules of your own account.
