G.E.H.A health members get access to a hearing aid discount program

We work with TruHearing® to offer you low out-of-pocket costs on hearing aids.


As a G.E.H.A FEHB or PSHB plan member, you receive access to Connection Hearing®, a hearing aid discount program through TruHearing. Hearing aids can be expensive, but TruHearing saves G.E.H.A members 30% to 60% off hearing aids. That’s an average savings of more than $2,600 on top of your benefit. You can experience the latest advances in hearing technology from top manufacturers like Signia, Starkey, Phonak, ReSound, Oticon and Widex.

With more than 8,850 provider locations nationwide, an in-network provider will be conveniently located near you. At your appointment, you receive a comprehensive hearing exam where your audiologist may recommend hearing aids to accommodate your hearing loss, budget and lifestyle.

Over-the-counter hearing aids1 are also an option for adults 18 years and older with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. These self-serve hearing aids are available without a medical exam or a fitting by a provider. Retail cost for high-quality over-the-counter hearing aids varies from $800–$2,000 or more per pair but may be purchased at a discount through TruHearing outside your plan medical benefit.

Your hearing aids come with a 60-day risk free trial period, a full 3-year manufacturer warranty, 80 free batteries per aid (included on non-rechargeable models) and 1 year of routine follow-up visits to ensure you are on the path to better hearing.

To sign up for Connection Hearing with TruHearing, call 1-844-224-2711 and a Hearing Consultant will assist you through the process.
