How the Labor Party policies will impact getting hearing aids and why you shouldn’t wait to switch

 

Labor plans to put a cap on health insurance premium increases, and while this will decrease out-of-pocket costs for Australians, it could also mean the health insurance industry will compensate for the lack of profit by reducing coverage.

Health insurance providers may exclude certain treatments and procedures from their policies*, one of which may include coverage for hearing aids.

If you’ve been experiencing hearing problems, now is a prudent time to shop around for hearing aids before new health insurance policies come into play.
