Hearing aid coverage in New Brunswick

If you are a client of the Department of Social Development in New Brunswick, you and your dependants may be eligible to receive hearing aid coverage through the Health Services and Hearing Aid Program. 

If you are partially covered for the cost of your hearing aids through private insurance or other means, the Health Services and Hearing Aid Program may cover the remaining cost up to $1000 per hearing aid.

You must be approved for the program before receiving hearing aid coverage and you can only receive full coverage if you have no other medical coverage.

Note: The Health Services and Hearing Aid Program does not cover hearing tests and evaluations, hearing aid cleaning and maintenance, additional options beyond the clients needs, hearing aid batteries, cochlear implants or assistive listening devices.

For more details on this program and whether you are eligible, see the Social Development Hearing Aid Policy.
