Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

Do I need a hearing test first?

Yes. A test by a licensed professional shows what you can and can't hear, and that decides what could help. If your hearing changed suddenly, or you have pain, discharge or dizziness, see a doctor promptly. Namoye doesn't give medical advice.

What types of hearing aids are there?

Common styles sit behind the ear, in the ear or in the ear canal, and differ in size, features and how visible they are. Over-the-counter options also exist for some adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. A hearing test helps you know which route makes sense.

How much do hearing aids cost?

It varies widely with the technology and the level of service. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask whether the price covers the devices only, or also the fitting, adjustments and follow-up visits, and get it itemized in writing.

Will insurance or Medicare cover them?

Original Medicare generally doesn't cover hearing aids. Some Medicare Advantage plans and private insurance plans do. Check your plan, and ask the provider what they can bill and what you would pay.

Can I try them before I commit?

Many providers offer a trial period, and rules vary by state. Ask for the length of the trial, whether fees apply if you return them, and get the terms in writing.

What about adjustments afterwards?

Most people need follow-up visits to adjust the devices as they get used to them. Ask how many are included and what happens after that.

Is an audiologist different from a hearing aid specialist?

They have different training and licensing, and rules vary by state. Ask the professional about their license and qualifications and what they are licensed to do.

What should I have ready?

What you have noticed about your hearing, whether you have insurance, and your ZIP code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a hearing clinic?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't test hearing, give medical advice or sell devices. The professional who contacts you is responsible for their advice and their quote.

Will several clinics call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified professional contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
