Hearing Aid Repair Warranties

There are two types of warranties that are usually included in the purchase price of hearing aids.  They are:

--Loss and Damage Warranty

--Repair Warranty

A Loss and Damage Warranty will allow the wearer to replace each aid once if the instrument is loss.  Each hearing aid manufacturer usually charges a restocking fee to replace a lost hearing aid.  This fee ranges from $150 to $200 depending on the manufacturer.

A Repair Warranty will insure the hearing aid in the event it needs a repair the audiologist is not able to perform.  A repair warranty usually lasts for two years.  Once the repair warranty expires, each out of warranty repair the manufacturer may perform will cost a flat fee of at least $225.  This is why we highly recommend keeping the repair warranty on hearing aids current.   Appalachian Audiology sends out letters roughly one month in advance to alert each patient that their hearing aid repair warranty is about to expire.  We charge $150 to extend a repair warranty for 12 months.  If your hearing aid needs a repair that the audiologists are not able to perform, this charge will cover the repair warranty extension and strictly limit any financial liability of the patient. 

Appalachian Audiology offers no charge service for the life of all hearing instruments purchased through us.  Click here for more information!
