Free Hearing Aids I Attune Hearing

Free Hearing Aids

Choose from a wide range of styles and brands

The Australian Government recognises the incredible importance of national hearing health care, which is why they provide financial help for eligible pensioners to ensure you are receiving access to quality hearing services at little to no expense of your own.

Am I eligible to receive subsidised Hearing Aids and Hearing Services?

If you are any of the following, you may be eligible to receive free hearing health care at Attune through the HSP (Hearing Services Program), formally OHS (Office of Hearing Services).

 

Which hearing aids are you eligible to receive as part of the program?

Your audiologist will assess your hearing and general health to determine which device(s) would be most suited to you. They will ask questions about your lifestyle to gain an understanding of what features and benefits you need most with your level of hearing loss.

Attune offers a wide range of hearing aids from leading manufacturers.

These include:

  • In-The-Canal (ITC) hearing aids
  • Behind-The-Ear (BTE) hearing aids
  • In-The-Ear (ITE) hearing aids
  • Complete-In-The-Canal (CITC) hearing aids
  • Assistive Listening Devices (ALD)

The Hearing Services Program (HSP) covers a wide range of fully subsidised devices, which your clinician will discuss with you. Should you wish to have a device with special features and benefits that is only partially subsidised, the HSP will cover the equivalent amount of free devices and you will only be required to pay the difference.

Eligible DVA clients will be fitted with a hearing aid and assistive listening device (ALD) where required as part of the rehabilitation.
