Funding Options

Triton Hearing Clinics have a commitment to providing quality service to all clients; therefore we will help you explore a range of funding options available.

SuperGold Card
SuperGold cardholders over 65 are eligible for a $500 subsidy for each hearing aid purchased, meaning there is a possible $1000 subsidy available.

ACC
ACC generally provides funding for hearing rehabilitation required as a result of noise exposure or accidental injury. Prolonged exposure to noise (such as a job in a noisy environment) without adequate ear protection can lead to noise induced hearing loss. Accidents that involve head trauma can also result in loss of, or reduced hearing in a variety of ways.

War Pensions
The War Pension fund covers costs associated with hearing impairment as the result of war experiences.

Enable
Enable is an organisation that provides funding for medical treatment of disabled individuals. Enable partially funds hearing aids for people who fit entitlement criteria. To be eligible for this funding the treatment must be helping the client towards employment, education or a number of other worthy pursuits.

To find out if you are eligible for any of the funding options above please contact Triton Hearing Clinics on 0800 45 45 44.

Government Funding
A government subsidy of $500 per hearing aid is available to all New Zealand citizens and residents. At Triton Hearing Clinics this subsidy is automatically deducted from the price of hearing aids.

Government beneficiaries have access to an interest free loan through WINZ. Money is deduced from weekly benefit payments until the loan is repaid.

Private
Private clients fund their own hearing rehabilitation independently. However, private health insurance may cover the costs of hearing assessments (if the person is recommended to have an assessment by a specialist).

Finance
For clients that would like more flexible payment options finance plans are available via GE Finance, Farmers Card, and Q Card. Please contact Triton to discuss finance options available.
