Hearing aids require maintenance and upkeep to continue working properly (just like a car!). At Bishopdale Hearing, we understand everyone has individual needs when it comes to servicing their devices. While some people are confident they can easily clean and service their hearing aids at home, others may prefer to have regular professional aftercare.
That’s why we created our Warrant of Otological Fitness (WOOF) Packages. We keep our hearing aid prices fair, and our packages give you complete control over which maintenance services you receive. Think of this like an extended warranty.
Our WOOF Packages
Our one-of-a-kind WOOF Packages (yes, we love dogs) help ensure you continue to get the most out of your hearing aids.
All four of our WOOF Packages include a comprehensive and customised device fitting, real-ear measurements and a two-month trial period, no matter which hearing aids you have purchased.
Great Dane Package
+$1000
This package includes:
- Appointments over the expected lifespan of the devices (six years)
- Servicing/on-site repairs over the six years
- 10 x Auditory Training appointments with our audiologist
*The expected lifespan of hearing aids is approximately six years, which is also when funding renewal occurs. The average cost of device repairs, consumables, and appointments (including ear wax removal) can total up to $1500 over six years.
The Auditory Training Package on its own (without a hearing aid purchase) is worth $2000. For more information about Auditory Training and why you would benefit from this, please see our Auditory Processing and Therapy page.
These great inclusions make the Great Dane Package an incredible investment on top of the standard packages and also eliminates any additional maintenance costs that may occur during this time.
Golden Retriever Package
+$500
This package includes:
- Appointments within three years of hearing device fitting
- Servicing/on-site repairs within three years of device fitting
- One new set of ear-moulds within three years of device fitting
Over the span of three years, the cost of hearing aid repairs, consumables, and appointments can total up to $700. The Golden Retriever Package is perfect for someone who is new to having hearing devices and may need the extra help adjusting to them over the first few years.
Springer Spaniel Package
Included with the purchase of certain hearing devices, or if you receive funding through the Ministry of Health Hearing Aid Funding Scheme.
