hearing aids and all connected paraphernalia such as special flashlight alarmclocks/doorbell warners/batteries for said hearing aids etc etc are covered by the Invalids insurance ( IV/AI) in switzerland the 'normal' health insurance does not cover it and in fact it may even be a problem when u want to join a new insurance,they send you detailed questionnaire and if you mention there that you are hearing impaired and need aids etcetc, then they might EXCLUDE their liability to cough up when you need to go to the ENT in connection with your hearing problem...........


Apparently there is some interest in this particular topic, so I will try and assemble a sort of general post regarding being hearing impaired in switzerland and what's on offer for the afflicted.

I hope this is ok with the mods!!

Cheers
