Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

What have you heard about a Bipartisan bill put forth by Senators Amy Klobuchar and James Lankford that would make Medicare pay for Esteem middle ear fully implanted hearing aids?
This would open up a whole new way to address hearing loss by categorizing them as prosthetics.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this technology. This country has been remiss for too long in making life easier for the millions of people who suffer from the crippling disability of hearing loss.
CI’s and hearing aids are a start but we deserve better from our country.
Does this technology exist and if so wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to take our hearing aids out every night and we could go swimming and do other activities without worrying about damaging our CI’s or hearing aids?
I welcome your comments or ones from anyone else in the group.

I am unaware of this bill but will keep my eyes and ears open for information. HLAA stays on top of this type of legislation so if this is true we will likely know more soon.
As with all legislation, bills often get presented and nothing happens. It matters a great deal to have constituents contact their legislators on issues that matter to them.
Hopefully someone on MCC will know more about this and respond with more information.
Thank you for bringing this to the fore.
