I’m sorry to hear you lost your hearing aid! Accidents happen, and they’re definitely small enough to fall out of a pocket or bag. Luckily, your hearing aid should be covered by your home insurance.
Unless your home insurance
specifically excludes medical equipment, your hearing aid should have coverage under the personal property section of your home insurance. As long as the cost of a new hearing aid exceeds your deductible, you should be able to submit a claim to replace it.
That said, you’ll want to review your policy terms and conditions to verify your coverage. If you have health insurance, your home insurance may require you to try and get coverage through that first. If your medical insurance won’t cover your hearing aid, or you don’t have insurance, your home insurance would likely cover the replacement.
Since you’re taking the time to review your policy, now is a great time to ensure you’re also paying the best rate. If you want to save money on home, renters, or car insurance, the Jerry
