Hear better and pay less with our exclusive partnership

Healthy hearing is essential for enjoying life to the fullest. That’s why Teachers Health members enjoy exclusive savings on Specsavers Advance range of hearing aids and can get a free assessment.

Here’s how it works:

  • Book a free hearing check at Specsavers Audiology
  • If a further hearing assessment is needed, it’s free (usually $49)
  • Looking for hearing aids? Get a discount or pay no gap depending on the type of hearing aid and if you qualify for the government’s Hearing Services Program (HSP). Specsavers can check your eligibility and deduct the subsidy from the cost of your hearing device
  • Got Top Extras? We’ll cover any out-of-pocket costs* up to your available limits and after any waiting periods.

Questions around claiming

How can I check if I can claim out-of-pocket costs for hearing aids?

You’d need to be on Top Extras to claim for hearing aids. Here’s how to check your remaining limits. If you’d like to check whether you’ve served your waiting periods, contact us.

 

Do I need to submit an Aids & Appliances form to claim for hearing aids?

Yes, if this is your first time to claim. You only need to complete the form once in a lifetime per person.

Ask your audiologist or treating specialist to complete the Aids & Appliances Form during your appointment.

If you’ve claimed hearing aids with us before, you may not need to submit a form. If you are unsure, please contact us.

 

Do I need to submit a claim with Teachers Health if I get hearing aids from Specsavers Audiology?

Yes, you do.

Specsavers Audiology can apply for the Hearing Services Program (HSP) subsidy if you’re eligible. They’ll deduct the subsidy from the cost of the hearing aids when you purchase them.

You’ll then need to pay the remaining amount – that you can claim with us if you’ve got Top Extras cover*.

 

How often can I claim hearing aids?

You can claim for hearing aids once every three years. That’s for one pair of hearing aids per person. Not sure if you can still claim? Here’s how to check your available limits.
