At Munk Hearing Centre, a leading hearing clinic in Toronto, many clients frequently inquire about coverage for hearing aids under OHIP. As a resident of Ontario, having an OHIP card provides access to various medical services without out-of-pocket expenses. However, when it comes to hearing aids, the reality is a bit different.

Are Hearing Aids Covered by OHIP?
Hearing Aids and OHIP
Unfortunately, hearing aids are not covered by OHIP. While it is a common misconception that hearing aids fall under OHIP coverage, the actual funding source for these devices is the Assistive Devices Program (ADP). This government program offers a one-time grant of $500 per ear to assist with the costs associated with hearing aids, easing the financial burden for many individuals.
Navigating the ADP Process
When you purchase hearing aids through our audiology clinic, we simplify the administrative process for you. The team at Munk Hearing Centre handles all the necessary paperwork to apply for the ADP grant. This means you won’t have to worry about navigating the application process on your own. Our staff will ensure that you receive the financial assistance you’re entitled to, allowing you to focus on what matters—your hearing health and overall well-being.
Hearing Tests Covered by OHIP
On a positive note, hearing tests are generally covered by OHIP in select situations, especially when they are supervised by an ENT physician. At Munk Hearing Centre, we pride ourselves on offering complimentary hearing tests to our patients. This means you won’t incur any charges during your hearing appointment, allowing you to assess your hearing health without any financial concerns.
