Hearing Aid Service Subscriptions
While we are an “unbundled” clinic, we do offer hearing aid service subscription plans. Purchasing a service plan is always optional, but it may provide additional savings and peace of mind. Service plans are valid at any Merit Hearing location.
In order to purchase a service plan, your hearing aids must be in good working order. The hearing aids do not have to have been purchased from Merit Hearing to qualify. Service plans are non-refundable.

**These service plans do not cover lost hearing aids or out-of-warranty repairs by the manufacturer. If hearing aids are out-of-warranty, replacement parts (such as receivers) are not included.
Hearing aid service contracts are limited to hearing aid diagnostics and do not include medical diagnostics nor other medical services provided at Merit Hearing. For example, diagnostic hearing tests and ear wax removal services would incur an additional fee as they are not included in these service contracts, but are often covered by health insurance.
