UnitedHealthcare Hearing is the hearing program for UnitedHealthcare members, and it also powers AARP Hearing Solutions. It stands out for its online account: once you add your insurance, the site shows your hearing benefit, pricing and network providers, so you do not need to call to compare. The network has over 7,000 licensed providers. Prescription aids come with a 3-year extended warranty that covers repairs and a one-time loss and damage replacement, though a professional fee may apply depending on your coverage. Each aid includes a one-year supply of batteries or a charging case, and follow-up visits are part of the purchase. After you pay, aids ship to your provider in 10 to 14 business days for fitting. You can also shop OTC hearing aids, accessories and supplies on the same site. Prices are not public, and the network is smaller than TruHearing's or Amplifon's. We compared documented features and published prices.
