My hearing aids come from Audio Conseil and I got the battery operated more basic ones for free. The rechargeable ones were going to cost me about 2000€, even with the CPAM paying a bit and my Mutuelle paying a little bit. But recently I lost one and had the nasty shock to be told that a replacement would cost over 900€. I asked about insurance and was told I could only insure them during the first 60 days of getting them, and this was about 6 months later! I was cross that I hadn’t thought of that at the time and no-one suggested it! But mercifully the aid was found by someone at the restaurant where I thought I had lost it. So now I’m VERY careful to look after them!

Might they be covered with your home insurance contents?
They might, but I think you have to declare them specifically as a high value item. IIRC that was the case with my mother’s hearing aids.

At least they may let you add the item mid way through the year.
Mine are the rechargeable ones, I paid the extra to avoid fiddling, can hardly handle the things as it is without adding tiny batteries to the mix. Pretty sure I have full insurance on them too, but I have a follow up visit soon so will check.
