The cost of a hearing aid
Hearing aids are available in all shapes, sizes and prices. In the Netherlands compensation for the cost of a hearing aid is provided by the basic health insurance. In addition you can choose to have a supplementary insurance. If so, it may be possible to purchase a hearing aid without any additional payment.
A lot of hassle? Don’t worry, François Nicolle handles the whole procedure with your insurance company. You pay only your additional fee.

5 years service and aftercare
Read your health insurance policy for the terms and conditions of the compensation. The basic insurance allows you to purchase a new device once every five years. This is a very long time for a hearing aid. That is why it is so important to make appointments between times, to let François Nicolle check and adjust your hearing aid depending on the condition of your hearing. Therefore you will have the maximum benefit of your “old” hearing device.
After purchasing a hearing aid we offer you a further
five years after-care service, in addition to the usual manufacturer’s guarantee.
During this period:
- We will help you with any problem, free of charge. If necessary at home!
- You have unlimited access to one of our locations for a hearing test, free of charge. For example we can check every six months whether your hearing has deteriorated and make the necessary adjustments to your hearing aid, if required.

Compensation by UWV (in the Netherlands)
Are you hard of hearing or is it a problem for you to do your work or find a job without a hearing aid? And will you receive less than the full compensation from your health insurance? In that case you can be compensated by the UWV for the purchase of a hearing aid. Again, we take care of your request (only in the Netherlands).
