Summary:
Synchrony and HearingLife are extending their partnership to continue offering CareCredit financing at HearingLife’s hearing care centers to provide patients with flexible payment options.
Key Takeaways:
- Expanded Access to Care – HearingLife will continue to offer CareCredit financing to make hearing care more accessible for patients.
- Hearing Health Awareness Gap – Despite 70% of people prioritizing hearing, less than 10% visit an audiologist yearly, highlighting a need for increased awareness.
- Personalized Hearing Solutions – HearingLife provides customized hearing care with licensed professionals at over 600 locations nationwide.
Synchrony and HearingLife have announced that they will continue to partner to offer Synchrony’s CareCredit credit card at HearingLife’s network of hearing care centers across the United States. As HearingLife’s exclusive premier financing partner, CareCredit enables patients to pay over time for hearing exams, tinnitus care, implants, hearing tests, and hearing aids, devices, and products.
A recent Synchrony study showed 70% of people consider their hearing a priority—yet less than 10% have visited an audiologist in the past year. Additionally, 85% reported they felt there was no need to discuss their hearing with a healthcare provider, even though more than 1 in 5 admitted to exhibiting potential hearing loss symptoms.
“These findings illustrate that connecting patients with the hearing care they want and need is absolutely essential—and ensuring they can do so in a way that works with their financial situation is a crucial factor,” says Becky Lansen, senior vice president and general manager, specialty at Synchrony. “We’re excited to continue our partnership with HearingLife, so that their patients can access the financial options and support that enables optimal hearing care.”
HearingLife, with its extensive network of hearing care centers, provides personalized care tailored to each patient’s needs. At more than 600 locations nationwide, HearingLife connects patients with licensed hearing professionals to provide customized care that fits patient’s lifestyles.
“Our hearing is such a significant part of life; it connects us in every way possible and without it, we lose touch with life and those around us,” says John Demma, HearingLife president. “That’s why I am proud to partner with CareCredit. Together, we’ll help even more people experience the life-changing hearing health HearingLife delivers through our unmatched personalized care and technology.”
The CareCredit credit card is accepted in more than 11,000 audiology and hearing practices across the country and offers financing options for qualified consumers.
