Are Hearing Tests Free?

If you’re noticing hearing loss, you may be considering getting your hearing professionally assessed. The good news is that Beltone makes the process for a hearing screening easy.

First and foremost: you may have noticed that, at Beltone, we use the term "hearing screening" to refer to the in-person service we provide that measures your degree of hearing loss. We generally avoid using the term "test" for in-person services because it can have specific cost implications for Medicare and insurance providers, and we don’t want to risk any negative impact on our patients by using potentially problematic language. Our focus is on patients, not definitions! 

The hearing screenings provided by Beltone are free—both the in-person hearing screening conducted by a Beltone hearing care professional and the online hearing test. If you're found to have a treatable level of hearing loss following your screening, you may choose to pursue treatment and purchase hearing aids.

It's Time to Hear What Matters

Make sure you’re sitting in a quiet area with good-quality headphones or earbuds available.
Turn off the television or stereo and close any nearby windows or doors to drown out background noise.
Read the tips on the Online Hearing Test page.
In the main section of the Online Hearing Test you will be asked to identify specific sounds.
