Hearing Buddy strongly recommend that you sign up for Government’s Annual Maintenance Agreement, which will cover the costs of device maintenance, repairs, and batteries.
The majority of this expenditure is covered by the Australian government and comes at no additional cost to you other than a small yearly fee.
If you opt out of the yearly maintenance agreement, you will be responsible for purchasing batteries and any repair costs to your hearing aid.
