Hearing aids
If you're on a low income or benefit you may be able to get help with the cost of hearing aids.
Funding from Disability Support Services
Disability Support Services may be able to help you pay for hearing aids. This funding is free - you don’t have to pay it back.

Help you may be able to get from us
If you can't get funding from Disability Support Services, or need extra help, Work and Income may be able to help. You don't have to be on a benefit to apply for this. You will have to pay the money back.
If you’re getting a benefit, you can apply for an Advance Payment of Benefit.
If you’re not getting a benefit, you can apply for a Recoverable Assistance Payment.
