FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Hearing aids are generally purchased privately in British Columbia with the exception of:

Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC)
Workers’ Compensation Board of BC (WCB)
Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) provided by the Department of Indian Affairs
Ministry of Human Resources (Social Services)
Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)

If you wish to enquire about your eligibility to make a claim with any of these organizations, please contact our clinic. Many Extended Health Plans also have some provision for hearing aids. Check with your plan directly to find out. All hearing aid purchases, and any costs incurred in their maintenance may be claimed as a medical expensive against your Income Tax. Check with your accountant for details specific to your situation.


Prices for hearing aids vary between clinics. For those who will be purchasing hearing aids privately, the British Columbia Association of Speech Language Pathologists and Audiologists provides some useful fee guidelines.
