Insurance lilmits
Some home insurance policies may have limits on the amount of coverage for high-value items like hearing aids or may exclude coverage for certain types of damage. For example, if your hearing aids are lost or damaged due to wear and tear or gradual deterioration, your policy may not cover this.
When shopping for home insurance, be sure to speak with your insurer or insurance broker about the available options for coverage of your hearing aids.
