Prices and insurance cover
How much the health insurer contributes, how much you may pay yourself, and which insurers we have contracts with.
What does health insurance cover?
Czech public health insurance contributes 6,817 CZK towards a hearing aid, once every five years, for a patient with hearing loss. For chronic whistling, hissing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus) the insurer also contributes, if the conditions are met, towards a second hearing aid — 13,634 CZK in total. You do not have to go anywhere else; we handle all the paperwork.
Examinations and all further care with us are free of charge — fully covered by Czech public health insurance. A basic hearing aid is free too. You pay only the difference in price if you choose a more expensive hearing aid from a higher category.
What are the hearing aid categories?
Basic
Patient pays: 0 CZK
fully covered by insurance
Suitable, for example, for undemanding listening to television without background noise.
Mid-range
Patient pays: 4,000–7,000 CZK
Advanced electronics that markedly improve speech clarity even in more demanding settings (noise, several people).
Premium
Patient pays: 9,000–36,000 CZK
Top algorithms with elements of artificial intelligence that remove background noise and give natural speech clarity in almost all situations. Wireless connection to a mobile phone is standard.
How the categories differ
| Basic | Mid-range | Premium | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listening in quiet surroundings | good | very good | excellent |
| Understanding in noise and in a group | basic | good | excellent |
| Background noise reduction | basic | advanced | top-level, with artificial intelligence |
| Automatic adaptation to surroundings | limited | yes | yes, seamless |
| Connection to phone and television | limited | yes | yes, including hands-free |
Even basic and mid-range hearing aids are an enormous help for good hearing. You can book an appointment and try hearing aids here with no obligation — you will judge for yourself the difference between life with a hearing aid and without one.
