We are here to help eligible clients through the ACC funding process.

 

You may be eligible for hearing aids without a surcharge through the Accident Compensation Corporationif your hearing loss is a result of prolonged workplace noise exposure or attributed to a traumatic event or treatment injury.

ACC offers different levels of funding for hearing aids depending on the cause and extent of your hearing loss. The amount funded will depend on how much of your hearing loss is attributable to noise exposure that occurred during your employment or hearing loss due to trauma. Audika can assist with applying for ACC funding and fitting your hearing aids if your ACC claim is accepted2.

If your claim is accepted, ACC contributes funding support towards the purchase of hearing aids, appointments, batteries, repairs & maintenance. ACC funding support for new hearing aids is available at intervals of at least every six years for eligible clients.

How do I find out if I am eligible for funding?

The first step is to book a hearing check at your local Audika clinic, to identify if your hearing test results are likely to meet the criteria for ACC cover.

If your hearing loss is the result of prolonged workplace noise exposure or a treatment injury or a traumatic event, you may be eligible for funding from ACC.  Many factors are considered as part of the claim and this includes, your age any family history of hearing loss and any other causes of hearing loss. 

If your ACC claim is not accepted, you may be entitled to funding under the Disability Support Service hearing aid funding scheme1 or the hearing aid subsidy scheme1. Your clinician will be the best person to discuss potential funding avenues available to you.
