New hearing aid: How often does health insurance pay for hearing aids?
In Germany, most health insurance companies pay for hearing aids, but there are some restrictions and conditions that need to be taken into account.
First of all, it is important to note that there are two types of health insurance in Germany: statutory health insurance and private health insurance. Statutory health insurance is compulsory for most people in Germany and is financed by contributions paid by employers and employees. Private health insurance is voluntary and is financed by contributions paid by the insured person.

It should also be noted that there are special regulations in Germany for children and young people who need hearing aids. Statutory health insurance generally pays for hearing aids for children and young people up to the age of 18.
All in all, it is always necessary to find out about the benefits provided by your own health insurance in advance in order to understand how often and under what conditions your health insurance pays for hearing aids. It may also be helpful to contact the hearing aid manufacturer or a hearing aid acoustician for further information and support.
