TruHearing review

TruHearing is the hearing benefit most older adults will meet through a Medicare Advantage or employer plan, and it has the strongest package in this list. The company says 160 million people are covered by TruHearing and that members save an average of $3,830 per pair against paying full retail price, which it puts at $4,727 per pair at a traditional clinic. Its network has 8,850+ provider locations, and TruHearing says 90% of the US population lives within 10 miles of one. Every purchase includes a 60-day no-risk trial, a 3-year manufacturer warranty, a 3-year warranty against loss or damage and one year of follow-up visits. A Hearing Consultant checks your coverage, finds a provider and can submit the insurance claim for you. The catch is access: you get member pricing through a plan that contracts with TruHearing, and exact prices come by phone. Hear In America benefits and Hearing Care Solutions are also moving to TruHearing. We compared documented features and published prices.
