Insurance for hearing aids - loss or accidental damage

Hello,
I have recently bought hearing aids privately for the first time, and I now need to get them insured.
I am having real difficulty finding anything less than £40 per month where I was thinking that I would pay £50 per year.
My home insurance will only cover the hearing aids for £50 pere year, but will only insure them for theft(!) which isn't going to happen... I need to insure them for loss and accidental damage.
All advice and recommendations welcome.
Many thanks

    Did the company you purchased from not offer insurance?  I've just had a quick look on the Boots site and their insurance is between £36 and £96 per aid on a one year contract.  Considerably cheaper on a 4 year contract.

    What kind of hearing aids did you get?
    Curious why you didn't go with the NHS hearing aids
    The OP hasn’t logged on since November 23 so I doubt you will get an answer
