Hearing Central wants you to have the hearing device that best suits your needs, and there may be more financial assistance available than you know:

  • If you have a HIN card the Ontario government will pay $500 per ear every 3 years towards the cost of hearing aids. If your aid is over 3 years old or this is your first time purchasing a hearing aid and you have a valid Ontario Health Insurance card you should be eligible for this grant.
  If you are registered with any of the following, you may receive full or partial coverage:
  • Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB),
  • Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC)
  • Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) 
Your personal insurance may also cover some of the costs. We will work with you to find the best solution for your hearing needs.

      There are no hidden costs at Hearing Central. We do not automatically add the cost of post care services to the cost of your aids, as some hearing aid dispensaries do. At Hearing Central we believe you should have a choice. Hearing aid batteries and follow-up visits are never automatically included in the cost of your hearing aid. This helps to keep our pricing clear and reasonable.
