Partnership Makes Hearing Aids and Services More Affordable

More than 28.8 million Americans could benefit from the use of a hearing aid, but only one in four have actually used one, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIDCD). Recognizing this large need, DentalPlans.com, a leading dental and health savings marketplace, is proud to announce its partnership with Amplifon to offer affordable access to hearing healthcare services and hearing aids.

"We are excited to partner with Amplifon, a leader in the hearing care industry, to provide members with even more affordable options to get the care they need to live happier, healthier lives," said Bob Harris, Chief Executive Officer for DentalPlans.com.

With more than 20 years of experience in helping those with hearing loss, Amplifon will provide members with access to their nationwide network of more than 5,300 hearing healthcare providers. Plan members will receive an average savings of up to 60% on thousands of hearing aid models from leading manufacturers such as Miracle-Ear, Phonak, Oticon, ReSound, Starkey and Siemens.

Plan members will also enjoy a risk-free 60-day trial with a 100% money-back guarantee, one-year free follow-up care—cleaning, adjustment, and other hearing aid services—and two years of free hearing aid batteries mailed directly to the member's home. And as part of their personalized service, Amplifon will provide members assistance with locating a provider, scheduling appointments, ongoing support and more.

"Most people don't know that hearing loss is one of the largest common health issues affecting more than 36 million people—of all ages. Not only is hearing loss frustrating, but several studies show it may be linked to other physical, psychological, or social health risks, such as dementia," said Dr. Thomas Tedeschi, Chief Audiology Officer for Amplifon (Americas). "By partnering with DentalPlans.com, we will be able to help more people asses their habits that contribute to hearing loss, solutions, and provide the help to avoid serious hearing loss and health risks later in life."
