Discover funding and finance options for your hearing aids.
Learn more about how to make hearing aids more affordable with the funding and finance options we offer for hearing aids, including the Government hearing aid subsidy, the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC), Veterans Affairs, Q Card, and WINZ payments. The friendly team at your local Bay Audiology clinic can help you to apply.
The Government hearing aid subsidy scheme entitles New Zealand citizens and permanent residents aged 16 years and over to a government subsidy of $1022.22 toward a pair of hearing aids, or up to $511.11 towards a single hearing aid, once every six years.
Beyond government hearing aid subsidies in New Zealand, our hearing specialists offer expert advice on funding options that may be available to you. We will help you apply for funding and support you every step of the way. There are several other funding options available, including:
If your type of work has taken a toll on your hearing, you might be eligible for funding from ACC. ACC may contribute towards the cost of your hearing aids, hearing aid maintenance and repairs, and replacement of batteries as you need them. They will also provide support for you to replace your hearing aids once every six years.
We are a Registered ACC Supplier and can help you get the process started in three easy steps. Visit your nearest branch to learn more.
Returned service veterans may be eligible for funding if their hearing loss has been damaged as a result of military service. To start this process, you need to see your GP and contact Veterans’ Affairs. Following this, our audiologists can provide all services to you.
You can get in touch with your local Bay Audiology clinic to learn more about the Veterans’ Affairs process.
All our hearing aids come with a risk-free 90-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to test them in your daily environments. If you're not fully satisfied, you can exchange your hearing aid, upgrade with an additional payment, or receive a full refund within 90 days of purchase. This ensures you have complete confidence in finding the perfect hearing solution for your needs and lifestyle. Full terms and conditions apply.
We offer a 12-month interest-free option with Q Card to help make bringing back the sounds you love more affordable than ever. This offer is available on all hearing aid purchases, provided you meet eligibility requirements.
See below for full terms and conditions.
At Bay Audiology we accept the WINZ credit payments. You need to obtain a quote for hearing aids from Bay Audiology and will then need to contact your local WINZ office to go through the process of claiming a WINZ hearing aid subsidy.
