WPS partners with Hearing Care Solutions

WPS recognizes the importance of hearing care and the impacts of hearing loss on the overall quality of life, as well as the implications of having multiple diseases or conditions when hearing loss is one of them.

“As we age, hearing naturally diminishes, but correcting it can be far easier than some of the problems hearing loss may be related to,” said Tiffany Bauer McDonald, WPS Director of Insurance Product Development and Innovation. “We know that hearing loss is linked to a higher risk of falls, accelerated rate of cognitive decline, greater social isolation, greater risk of dementia, and more.

Through our hearing program, all WPS customers receive:

• Comprehensive hearing exam at no charge
• Hearing aid evaluation at no charge
• Fixed, discounted pricing at multiple levels of hearing aid technology
• Choice of up to nine major manufacturers
