NationsHearing offers two convenient ways to get an annual routine hearing exam:
Call us at 877-225-0137 (TTY: 711) and speak with a Member Experience Advisor who will schedule your hearing exam with a local provider.
If the exam results indicate hearing loss, we work with you to select the highest quality hearing aids using your hearing benefit.
We work with your provider to fit your hearing aids and schedule any necessary follow-up appointments (up to three with the original provider). Hearing aids are typically shipped and fitted within 7 days of ordering.
To ensure your complete satisfaction, a representative will contact you to see if you need any further assistance.
From your computer or mobile device, log into our digital hearing experience and take a hearing exam.
The exam only takes a few minutes and you will have immediate access to accurate hearing results.
Products are available to order online using your benefit and shipped to you, at no additional cost.
At any time during the process, you can connect with an online representative that can assist you with any questions you may have.
All Aetna members can receive an annual covered routine hearing exam to determine hearing aid candidacy from a NationsHearing provider. Note: A copay may apply if you get added services or a diagnosis during your exam.
NationsHearing has relationships with all leading hearing aid manufacturers, which means we can offer the latest and most advanced hearing aids for more than 1,200 makes and models. Understanding your options when choosing a hearing aid will help you make the right decision for your hearing health.
Today’s hearing aids vary in size, color, features, and fit. In order to meet the demand for less-visible devices, manufacturers are designing hearing aids that are much smaller, fit more comfortably in the ear, and are barely noticeable.
The features that are built into your hearing aids are just as important as the style you choose. Below is a short list of features and benefits designed to improve the quality and health of your hearing needs.

Your health plan has teamed up with NationsHearing to bring you the most comprehensive hearing aid and services benefit. NationsHearing offers quality, cost-effective care and the most advanced hearing aids.
As part of your NationsHearing benefit, you will receive an annual covered routine hearing exam with no out-of-pocket expense. Note: A copay may apply if you get added services or a diagnosis during your exam.
Our Member Experience Advisors will work with you to find a local hearing care professional from our network of providers across the U.S.
If your exam is less than 6 months old, bring a copy of the results to your NationsHearing provider. It is possible your new provider will conduct their own hearing exam since it is the basis for fitting and programming your new hearing aids.

If a member wishes to purchase hearing aids from an out of network hearing provider, the order must be placed through NationsHearing. Providers can call NationsHearing at 877-226-8992 to submit an order.
