Dispensing of Hearing Aids

Mayo Clinic prefers to provide hearing aids and hearing rehabilitative services only to patients who live within an easy driving distance of Rochester. The reason for this preference is for your convenience, as the process of fitting the hearing aids can take a number of visits during the initial stages. In addition, should the hearing aids need service or repair, it might difficult or inconvenient for you to return to Rochester for what might be a simple service that you could have obtained in your local community. If you have investigated hearing aid services in your community and have found none that are acceptable to you, we will be happy to provide hearing aids to you at our clinic.
