To qualify for technical aids support, you need a certificate from an ear-nose-throat doctor or audiologist, confirming the need for a hearing aid.
With the certificate from an ear-nose-throat doctor or audiologist, you can approach any hearing center that is a partner of the Social Insurance Board. Once you have the certificate, visit our center for a hearing test and fitting of the hearing aid. Please bring along your identification document and the certificate from the ear-nose-throat doctor or audiologist in paper format.
At the appointment, the hearing specialist advises and presents various options (in-the-ear and behind-the-ear devices, accessories, etc.).
The hearing specialist conducts a hearing test (audiogram) using a specialized device. This test helps determine the condition of your hearing and the degree of hearing loss. We select hearing aids together, taking into account your lifestyle and the results of the audiogram.
Note: With state support, it is possible to obtain hearing aids every 3-4 years. For more detailed conditions, please refer to the Social Insurance Board’s website or inquire for additional information from us.
