Beltone is a US hearing aid retail chain with about 1,500 mostly-franchised locations nationwide selling custom-fit hearing aids (Beltone Imagine, Beltone Achieve, Beltone Serene product lines), founded in 1940 in Chicago by Sam Posen which makes it 8 years older than competitor Miracle-Ear (1948) and one of the oldest US hearing aid chains, owned by Danish parent GN Hearing (GN Store Nord A/S, Copenhagen Stock Exchange: GN.CO) which also owns sister brands ReSound (hearing aid technology platform) and Jabra (consumer audio).
The questions readers actually ask: what time does Beltone open today, when does the center close, are they open Saturday or Sunday, are they open on holidays, and how the BelCare lifetime aftercare program works.
Two Beltone specific things worth knowing: most centers run 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday with shorter Saturday hours (many centers 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM Saturday; some closed Saturday entirely), and virtually all centers are closed Sunday. Beltone hearing aids use ReSound technology platforms internally (since GN Hearing owns both brands), but Beltone has its own retail network, BelCare aftercare program, and pricing structure separate from ReSound. Direct competitor Miracle-Ear follows a similar weekday-mostly retail model with Italian Amplifon parent rather than Danish GN.

Is Beltone open on Saturday?
Saturday hours at Beltone vary by franchise. Many centers are open Saturday 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM with shorter weekend hours; some franchises are closed Saturday entirely. Saturday morning is one of the busier slots for working-age client appointments since most Beltone customers prefer Saturday slots. Last Saturday appointment is typically scheduled 90 minutes before the 1:00 PM close to allow for the full hearing screening plus consultation.
Is Beltone open on Sunday?
Virtually all Beltone hearing care centers are closed Sunday. The Sunday-closed pattern is industry standard for hearing aid retail since the customer base (skewing 65+) does not have heavy Sunday-shopping demand for hearing care. For urgent hearing aid issues on Sunday (a hearing aid that stopped working, a stuck wax filter), the corporate 1-800-235-8663 line offers phone troubleshooting (limited Sunday staffing). Easter Sunday and other Sundays do not change the closed-Sunday default.

Is Beltone open on Sunday?
No. Virtually all Beltone hearing care centers are closed Sunday. The Sunday-closed pattern is industry standard for hearing aid retail. For urgent hearing aid issues on Sunday (a hearing aid that stopped working, a stuck wax filter, a dead rechargeable battery), the corporate 1-800-235-8663 line offers limited Sunday phone troubleshooting and can route emergency calls to on-call BelCare program members.
Is the hearing screening at Beltone free?
Yes. Beltone offers free hearing screenings at all centers as the chain's primary lead-gen service. The screening takes about 30 minutes and includes a Pure Tone Audiometry test (standard hearing screening) plus a consultation explaining results. There is no obligation to purchase a hearing aid after the screening. The free screening is designed to convert consumers into hearing aid customers; expect a sales consultation to follow the results regardless of severity.
Is Beltone open on Memorial Day, Labor Day, or Thanksgiving?
No. All Beltone centers are closed on Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day (federal holidays). Many centers are also closed Black Friday for a 4-day Thanksgiving weekend. Veterans Day is one notable exception: many Beltone centers are open with regular hours and offer Veterans Day hearing-screening promotions targeting the senior veteran demographic.
Is Beltone open on Christmas Day?
No. All Beltone centers are closed Christmas Day. Christmas Eve typically runs reduced 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM hours; the chain reopens with regular hours December 26 (or December 27 if December 26 falls on Saturday and the center is Saturday-closed). Most centers are closed through New Year's Day for the extended winter holiday.
What is the difference between Beltone and Miracle-Ear?
Both are among the oldest and largest US hearing aid retail chains. Beltone is older (founded 1940 Chicago by Sam Posen vs Miracle-Ear's 1948 Chicago founding by Kenneth Dahlberg). Owners differ: Beltone is owned by Danish parent GN Hearing (which also owns ReSound and Jabra); Miracle-Ear is owned by Italian parent Amplifon. Both run mostly-franchised retail networks of about 1,500 US centers with similar weekday-mostly hours and free-hearing-screening lead-gen models. Hearing aid technology: Beltone uses ReSound technology platforms internally; Miracle-Ear uses its own technology branded as the GENIUS platform.
What is BelCare?
BelCare is Beltone's lifetime aftercare program included with every Beltone hearing aid purchase. The program covers free hearing aid cleanings, free programming and adjustments, free annual hearing screenings, and discounted accessories for as long as the original purchaser owns the hearing aids. BelCare also includes the Beltone Hearing Aid Coverage warranty and the BelCare app (which connects the user to a Beltone Hearing Care Practitioner for remote adjustments). The program is a meaningful differentiator vs purchasing hearing aids from a non-chain audiologist where each follow-up visit typically costs separately.
Does Beltone take insurance for hearing aids?
Most original Medicare and Medicaid plans do not cover hearing aids; commercial insurance coverage varies (some PPO plans cover a portion). Many Medicare Advantage plans include hearing aid benefits, often through TruHearing, NationsHearing, or similar third-party hearing-aid networks; Beltone participates in some of these networks at participating franchise centers. Verify in-network status with your specific Beltone center before scheduling. The chain also offers in-house financing and CareCredit for non-covered purchases.
Do I need an appointment at Beltone?
Yes for the free hearing screening (the screening plus consultation runs 60 to 90 minutes and requires advance scheduling so the Beltone Hearing Care Practitioner can dedicate time). Walk-ins are accepted at most Beltone centers for hearing aid adjustments, repairs, wax filter replacements, battery purchases, and accessory pickups. Schedule online at beltone.com or by calling your specific center.
What is the Beltone customer service phone number?
Beltone customer service is 1-800-235-8663, available Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The line handles general inquiries, appointment scheduling, hearing aid troubleshooting, BelCare program questions, and corporate inquiries. For center-specific questions, calling your specific center directly (each has its own phone listed in the locator below) is faster.
