Hearing Aids for Pensioners: Affordable & Subsidised Options
Hearing loss can significantly impact your quality of life, making conversations difficult, reducing social engagement, and even affecting your mental well-being. Fortunately, pensioners in Australia have access to subsidised hearing aids through the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (HSP).
At Trusted Hearing, we provide expert audiology services to help pensioners find the right hearing aids for their needs—whether that means a fully subsidised model or an advanced, partially subsidised device with premium features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Budget (Do you prefer fully subsidised or an advanced model with added features?)
2. Are hearing aids free for pensioners in Australia?
Eligible pensioners can access fully subsidised hearing aids at no cost through the Hearing Services Program.

You need to:
Confirm eligibility (Pensioner Concession Card or DVA Card)
Book a hearing test at Trusted Hearing
Choose fully or partially subsidised hearing aids

Partially subsidised hearing aids offer advanced features (better sound quality, technology, rechargeability) but require a small out-of-pocket cost.

There are many misconceptions about hearing loss and hearing aids that may stop people from seeking help. In this post, we debunk common myths such as the belief that hearing loss only affects older people, or that hearing aids are bulky and difficult to use. Modern hearing aids are sleek, effective, and easy to manage. Addressing hearing loss early is vital, and using two aids often results in better sound quality. If you have concerns about your hearing, consult an audiologist to enhance your quality of life.
