How Can You Get Hearing Aids With PRSI?
PRSI is the Irish social insurance system. All employees in Ireland contribute to PRSI, which helps fund social welfare benefits like free healthcare and unemployment benefits.
You may be entitled to a range of benefits through PRSI, including Free Maternity Care, Free Dental Care, Free Eye Examinations, and Free Hearing Aids.
The €1,000 PRSI Grant for hearing aids is available to all individuals, including retirees and their dependent spouses, who have made the requisite PRSI contributions.
The PRSI Grant aims to enable qualifying persons to obtain Hearing Aids from private providers such as Carlow Hearing, thus avoiding the need to go on a long waiting list for HSE (Medical card) aids. You can claim a new €1,000 grant every four years to update your technology at little or no cost.
