HAD-4-Kids^TM is a program developed by Audiologists from The HearingAidDocs^TM who saw a need for low-cost options for parents with children who have hearing loss. Due to the nature of our insurance industry and the lack of coverage for hearing aids HAD-4-Kids^TM program can give the parents another option with their budget in mind. Medicaid and other sources of funding are sometimes limited, so HAD-4-Kids^TM was designed with the financially limited families in mind.

The HAD-4-Kids^TM hearing aids list includes a select number of hearing aids that we believe are appropriate for children. We have thought of several features and factors that with kids in mind, such as FM system capability or other features such as tamper-proof battery doors and pediatric size earhooks. If you believe there is another product or feature that is most appropriate for your patient and it is not on our list, please contact us as we will be able to accommodate your needs. 

Included in our selection are hearing aids for teenagers who may be a little more conscientious of style. Whether your patient is 15 weeks old or 15 years old, you can find what is right for your patient.

In order to take part in our program, your patient must be 18 years or younger and must have seen an audiologist for a hearing evaluation within the past six months. We require a copy of the audiogram.

If the family decides to purchase a hearing aid from the HAD-4-Kids^TM program, the hearing aid must be fit by a licensed audiologist. If the child is less than 6 years old or is developmentally delayed, it is preferable that they be fit by a Pediatric Audiologist.

Hearing aids purchased from the HearingAidDocs^TM are delivered to you, the hearing healthcare provider. The hearing aids are disabled and can only be programmed by a licensed audiologist who has the equipment capable of programming hearing aids.
