AARP Hearing Solutions review

AARP Hearing Solutions is one of two hearing benefits on AARP's member benefits list, provided by UnitedHealthcare Hearing. AARP describes it as savings on prescription hearing aids and access to a nationwide hearing care provider network. The appeal is that you do not need a UnitedHealthcare health plan: an AARP membership is enough, and AARP lists it at $15 for your first year when you sign up for automatic renewal. That membership also includes a free second membership and access to other AARP health benefits such as dental and vision plans. The hearing program sits on UnitedHealthcare Hearing's network of over 7,000 providers. The weak point is transparency, because AARP's page does not publish hearing aid prices or warranty terms for this program, so you will learn the price at the provider. If you want published prices, AARP Hearing Care by Soundly, the other AARP hearing benefit, lists them. We compared documented features and published prices.
