Grant towards Hearing Aids

If eligible, the Department of Social and Family Affairs, will pay a PRSI grant of €1000.00 for a pair of hearing aids. The need for a patient to contribute towards the purchase of hearing aids has now been removed.

As Hearing Aid Audiologists we are registered with the Department of Social and Family Affairs.  The Department of Social and Family Affairs have a treatment benefit scheme which is available to eligible patients and dependent spouses who have full PRSI contribution cover. Details are available on their website www.welfare.ie.

We can check on your behalf to see if you qualify for the grant. Contact us to find out more.

What Our Customers Say

Erin’s story

About me: I’m 21 years old, and I am the Irish president of the international veterinary students association (IVSA). I’m a girl who loves travelling, going out, cheeseburgers and talking too much, but couldn’t do it all without the help of friends, family and a caring Hearing Health care professional.

As a young girl for me needing a flexible Audiologist who understands my needs and worries is paramount. Better Hearing / Emmanuel Kirby has gone above and beyond and indeed exceeded every expectation I had. Emmanuel understood that I need something functional and aesthetic for my active life. I think it’s vital for young hard of hearing people to have someone willing to hold their hand and talk them through every step and every option available. This is what Emmanuel Kirby does for me.
