Hearing aid coverage in Northwest Territories

In the Northwest Territories, seniors 60 and older who are Métis or Non-Indigenous can apply to have their hearing aid costs covered, within reason, under the Extended Health Benefits Seniors Program.

You must be a permanent resident and have a valid health card.

For Indigenous Persons, see Indigenous Services Canada’s Non-Insured Health Benefits program for more information.
