That means members get eye exams from trusted Kaiser Permanente optometrists and ophthalmologists, as well as a great selection of competitively priced eyewear. Plus, these services are often found under one roof at many of our Vision Essentials by Kaiser Permanente locations.1

Hearing

Hearing loss affects 15% of Americans and is the third most common health condition. Left untreated, it can lead to higher levels of depression, cognitive decline, and social isolation. A Kaiser Permanente hearing aid benefit can increase how often employees have their hearing tested, which can ultimately improve their overall quality of life. An integrated hearing care plan through Kaiser Permanente is easy to add and can lead to improved outcomes and lower costs for employers.

Plan options

Kaiser Permanente offers hearing aid plans with allowances from $1,000 to $3,000 per ear every 36 months.
