It is composed of hearing aids that do not belong to the 100% Health basket and whose prices are freely defined by the audioprosthetist:
– The coverage by Social Security is identical to that of the basket of the 100% Health offer.

How to benefit from the 100% Health Audiology offer?
It is necessary for a doctor to certify your hearing loss. To benefit from the 100% Health offer:
1. Consult your doctor to prescribe a consultation with an otolaryngologist (ENT) doctor or consult a general practitioner specializing in medical otology.
After a complete audiological assessment, if your hearing loss is objectified by the doctor [1], and a hearing aid is a suitable solution, the doctor prescribes one or two hearing aids (respectively if your hearing loss is unilateral or bilateral).
2. Make an appointment with the audioprosthetist of your choice, who will advise you in the choice of hearing aids (type, functionality, maintenance …) and will give you a detailed quote necessarily including at least one equipment from the 100% Health offer.
3. If you wish to fit, you can choose the hearing aid(s) of your choice (category I or category II). You have at least 30 days of trial before purchase, during which you can attest to the improvement or not of your hearing abilities.
4. Following this trial period, you will be able to make an informed choice about your decision to fit or not. If necessary, during the 4 years following your purchase, you can consult your audio prosthetist free of charge for the monitoring and control of your equipment.
