Hearing aid expenses are tax-deductible healthcare costs. Sometimes, choosing your preferred hearing aid without insurer reimbursement lets you maximize the tax deduction.
Tax and Customs Administration information
According to the website of the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration (2025): “If you bought a hearing aid and paid some of the costs yourself, you might be eligible to deduct part of what you paid on your tax return. Do you pay a compulsory personal contribution? Or do you have a compulsory excess? Then you are not allowed to deduct this contribution or this excess.”
“If the costs of the batteries for your hearing aid are not reimbursed by your health insurance and you can substantiate these costs, you are allowed to deduct them. The additional costs for the charger or batteries are always deductible, including when replacing the charger or batteries.”
“Operational lease payments for hearing aids can be deducted as specific healthcare costs on your tax return, as long as you do not receive reimbursement.”
