Hearing Aid Discounts - For Your Listening Pleasure

Hearing loss affects 28 million children and adults in the United States and can sometimes lead to poor school performance and behavioral problems in children . Apart from this, hearing disability has a correlative relationship with poor work productivity, low self esteem and debilitating psychological problems like depression, social anxiety and withdrawal from social activity. Statistics show that only 20 percent of all people who need hearing aids actually have them, because others cannot find affordable hearing aids. Hearing aid discounts offered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina aim to offer users an afforadable solution.

Through this hearing aid discount program , the state's largest health insurer, in partnership with members of the North Carolina Audiology Resource Enterprise, is offering a twenty five percent discount program for members needing affordable hearing aids. Highly qualified participating audiologists located throughout North Carolina provide BCBSNC members with attentive hearing care at significant savings.

As part of the Plan's Blue ExtrasSM and Blue ValuesSM programs, members are entitled to receive the discount on affordable hearing aid devices , hearing aid fittings and a one-year supply of batteries. This discount also is offered on follow-up visits, one-year warranties for service loss or damage of hearing aids, free cleanings and hearing aids checks. The discount does not cover diagnostic audiological testing or apply to the State Health Plan, which opts out of BCBSNC discount programs.

To avail of this discount, members must present their ID cards to a participating audiologist at one of many provider locations distributed throughout North Carolina. Participating audiologists are listed online at BCBSNC's Web site www.bcbsnc.com or members can call a toll-free number, 1-877-979-8000 for information.
