TruHearing Benefits at a Locally Owned Provider
What Are TruHearing Benefits?
TruHearing is a third-party administrator that manages hearing benefits for many health plans. More than 160 million Americans have access through work, Medicare Advantage, or a union plan. If your plan includes TruHearing, you use it at an in-network provider to lower costs. We are an in-network TruHearing provider serving Sioux Falls and Buffalo.
Is TruHearing a Good Deal?
For most people, yes. TruHearing can bring premium hearing aids to a low or $0 copay, depending on your plan. The benefit itself is the same wherever you go. What changes is the care behind it.
At a local Stanford clinic you get:
In-person fitting and tuning
Follow-up care as your hearing changes
Five premium brands to compare
The same team at every visit
Mail-order and big-box sellers often skip:
Hands-on fitting, so you get a ship-and-go device
Regular in-person follow-up
A full brand range, often just one or two choices
One consistent care team
That difference is where the real value of your benefit shows up.
Does My Insurance Plan Include TruHearing Benefits?
The quickest way to find out is to call us. Our patient care coordinators verify benefits every day and explain what your plan allows. Many members have TruHearing through Medicare Advantage. Others have it through a Blue Cross Blue Shield or Humana employer plan. This is one of several hearing aid insurance benefits our team helps patients use.
Will Humana Cover Hearing Aids?
TruHearing administers the hearing benefit for many Humana plans. Some Humana plans cover certain aids in full, while others share the cost through a copay. Because the details vary, calling us is the surest way to confirm your coverage. We check your specific plan before your visit, so you know what to expect.
What Your TruHearing Copay Depends On
Your copay depends on your plan and the technology level you choose. Standard aids often come at a low or $0 copay. Premium tiers cost more as features increase. Higher tiers add things like better noise handling, rechargeability, and stronger performance in crowds. Explore our hearing aid options, and we will match a tier to your hearing and budget. There is no pressure to buy above what you need.
What Hearing Aid Brands TruHearing Covers
TruHearing works with major manufacturers, including Phonak, Starkey, ReSound, and Unitron hearing aids. Plans do not all cover the same brands, so options can differ. At our clinics you compare across the premium brands we carry. Your recommendation comes from your hearing and lifestyle, not from one brand we favor.
Are TruHearing Hearing Aids Locked?
Some sellers lock their hearing aids, so only that seller can adjust or service them. Locked devices tie you to one place for every fix and tune-up. We do not sell locked hearing aids at Stanford. You keep support from our team, or another provider if you travel.
How to Use Your TruHearing Benefits
Putting your benefit to work is simple, and we handle the paperwork. The process looks like this:
Call us and we confirm your TruHearing coverage.
We book your comprehensive hearing test at a time that suits you.
Your hearing care provider tests your hearing and reviews the results with you.
If hearing aids are right for you, we go over options and you pick your devices.

At the follow-up, we fit your aids and show you how to use them.
