Hearing aids and related services can cost thousands of dollars and are rarely covered by insurance. By offering point-of-sale (POS) financing through SuperMoney, your clinic can enable patients to pay over time while still receiving full payment upfront. Integration is quick and helps clinics reach more patients needing affordable hearing solutions.

Why Hearing Clinics Need Flexible Financing Options
Many hearing treatments and devices are not fully insured, presenting a financial barrier for patients. According to recent data:
- The average prescription hearing aid ranges from $1,000 to $4,000 per ear, or $2,000 to $8,000 per pair (SeniorLiving.org).
- Some clinics report prescription devices averaging $6,500 per pair, covering tests, fittings, and follow-ups (Soundly).
- Surveys show the average patient-paid price is around $4,672 per pair, but costs can range from less than $1,000 to over $8,000 (hearingtracker.com).
These significant costs often discourage patients from proceeding — making financing imperative.
