Audicus Premier is a membership program with a set-up fee and monthly payments. It gives you access to high-quality hearing aids, a direct customer service line, the Audicus Care package (which is automatic delivery of the consumables listed below), lost/stolen protection, free repairs, cleanings, free reprogrammings, as well as a new pair of hearing aids every 18 months. Premier is not a payment plan, and you do not own the hearing aids. As a Premier member, you pay the monthly fee as long as you have the hearing aids. If you no longer wish to be a Premier member, you can cancel anytime – simply contact us to return your hearing aids to cancel the membership.
Benefits of Audicus Premier
As an Audicus Premier member, you will receive the following benefits:
- An Audicus Care package will be sent to your mailing address every 6 months at no charge (beyond your monthly Premier fee). You can also request more supplies at any time and we will send them to you free of charge, assuming you are current in your Premier payments. The Audicus Care package includes:
4 × Domes
4 × Earwax guards
2 × Retention guards
4 × Cleaning wipes
1 × Cleaning brush
1 × Desiccant pack
- Free cleanings and repairs for as long as you’re a Premier member.
- Loss and Damage Protection. If your hearing aid is damaged, send it back for a free repair or replacement. If you’ve lost it, get it replaced for only $150 per hearing aid.
- A pair of new Audicus hearing aids after 18 months. After 18 months, you simply send us back your old hearing aids and we will provide you with a new pair of the latest-generation Audicus hearing aids.
How am I billed for Audicus Premier?
Audicus Premier has a one-time set-up fee of US $249. This fee is charged on the date of sign-up and covers the cost of customizing and shipping your hearing aids to you. Monthly Audicus Premier fees will be charged to your credit or debit card in the month you sign up and are automatically charged each month thereafter.
How do I cancel Audicus Premier?
Audicus Premier Membership does not affect your 100-day 100% money-back guarantee. If you are not happy with your hearing aids, contact our Customer Service to initiate a return within 100 days (the package must be postmarked within 100 days) and you will receive a full refund for both the set-up fee and any monthly payments charged.
If you are outside of your trial period, you may cancel your Premier membership at any time by contacting Customer Service to notify us of the cancellation and sending your hearing aids back to us. Once we receive your hearing aids, you will not be charged any further monthly payments.
What if I want to buy my hearing aids outright?
Audicus Premier is not a payment program, and you do not own your hearing aids. Rather, for the duration of your membership, you are leasing the hearing aids. However, you can purchase your hearing aids at any time. If you would like to purchase your hearing aids while you are within your 100 day trial period, a credit will be applied towards your purchase equal to the payments you’ve made for Premier to that date. If you’d like to purchase your hearing aids and are outside the 100-day trial, a $350 credit will be applied to a hearing aid purchase of your choice. If you’d like to purchase your Premier hearing aids, please contact our Customer Service team.
How do I get my hearing aid upgraded after 18 months?
As an Audicus Premier member in good standing, you’re eligible for a new hearing aid every 18 months. You will not be charged another set-up fee, and your monthly payments will not change, even if Premier has become more expensive. Simply contact our Customer Service team to initiate the upgrade and we will get everything set up for you!
Am I eligible for Audicus Premier?
You must be over the age of 18, located in the United States, and have a valid credit or debit card to be enrolled as an Audicus Premier member

Questions
If you have any questions about these Terms of Service please contact Audicus at [email protected] or call 888-979-6918.
Warranties
Audicus provides a 24-month manufacturer’s warranty on each hearing device, starting on the date of shipment to you. If, after examining the hearing device(s), Audicus determines that the unit(s) failed to work due to parts, materials, or workmanship, the device will be repaired or replaced for free. The guarantee will not be valid if the device has been modified or damaged by the user (e.g. physical shock, damage from moisture or sweat, excessive wax build-up, or tampering with the instrument) or if the serial number has been altered, or if repairs have been made without the consent and knowledge of Audicus.
Return Policy
If for whatever reason you aren’t 100% happy with our hearing instruments, you can return them to us for a full refund within 100 days from the shipment date.
If you are returning your hearing device during the 100-day span because it stopped working correctly, please consult our troubleshooting guide first and/or do the following checks:
- Clean the device
- Insert new batteries
- Make sure the device is switched on and is not set to the Telecoil function
Before returning your hearing device please contact us (888-979-6918), and we’ll do our best to help you benefit from the devices. To return your hearing device, Mail it to the following address:
Audicus, Inc
130 W 29th St,
11th Floor
New York, NY 10001
Insure the package and/or get a tracking number and/or have signature confirmation to ensure it gets delivered to us. We cannot be held responsible for any lost or damaged shipments and will not accept damaged hearing instruments.
Note that the returns policy will not apply, if an Audicus device has been modified or damaged, or if the serial number has been altered, or if repairs have been made without the consent and knowledge of Audicus. In such case, you will be billed for the full amount of the device.
Medical Opinion
The purchaser has been advised at the outset of the purchaser’s relationship with Audicus that any examination or representation made by a hearing aid provider or audiologist in connection with the practice of dispensing, fitting, or dealing in hearing aids is not an examination, diagnosis, or prescription by a person licensed to practice medicine in this state and, therefore, must not be regarded as medical opinion or advice. A hearing aid or PSA will not restore normal hearing nor will it prevent further hearing loss.
Customer Consent for Use and Disclosure of Protected Health Information
The purchaser hereby gives consent for Audicus to use and disclose protected health information (PHI) about him/her to carry out treatment, payment, and health care operations (TPO). The Privacy Policy provided by Audicus describes such uses and disclosures more completely.
The purchaser has the right to review the Privacy Policy prior to accepting this consent. Audicus reserves the right to revise its Privacy Policy at any time. A revised Privacy Policy may be obtained by forwarding a written request to Audicus ([email protected]).
With this consent, Audicus may call the purchaser’s home or other alternative location and leave a message on voice mail or in person in reference to any items that assist the practice in carrying out TPO, such as appointment reminders, insurance items and any
calls pertaining to the purchaser’s hearing aids. With this consent, Audicus may mail to the purchaser’s home or other alternative location any items that assist Audicus in carrying out TPO, as long as they are marked “Personal and Confidential.”
With this consent, Audicus may email to the purchaser’s home or other alternative location any items that assist the practice in carrying out TPO. The purchaser has the right to request that Audicus restrict how it uses or discloses the purchaser’s PHI to carry out TPO. By accepting this form, the purchaser consents to allow Audicus to use and disclose the purchaser’s PHI to carry out TPO.
The purchaser may revoke his/her consent in writing except to the extent that Audicus has already made disclosures in reliance upon the purchaser’s prior consent. If the purchaser does not accept this consent or later revokes it, Audicus may decline to provide goods and services to the purchaser.
