Hearing aid specialist: what to know

A hearing aid specialist selects, fits and adjusts hearing aids to suit your hearing and lifestyle. They take measurements, support you during the trial period and provide follow-up adjustments and maintenance, usually after an assessment by an ear, nose and throat doctor.

When to book an appointment

• Struggling to follow conversations in noisy places
• A first hearing aid fitting after an ENT assessment
• Adjusting or servicing an existing hearing aid
• Needing custom-made hearing protection for work or leisure

Costs in Switzerland

In Switzerland, disability insurance (AI/IV) or old-age insurance (AVS/AHV) may pay a flat-rate contribution towards hearing aids under certain conditions after an ENT assessment; supplementary insurance may add to this.
