HA's are considered a "quality of life" issue and not a medical necessity. No, I do not agree with that but that is the excuse we get. My real theory is that it would bankrupt the system, especially Medicare, if they covered HA's because so many people need them.

As for Cochlear Implants, GO FOR IT!! My CI's are the best thing I have ever done for myself. HA's just do not compare. The short of it is that HA"s just amplify sound where CI's use your ear structure to produce sound the way it is supposed to be made. CI's have given me my life back.

Also, CI's are covered under insurance 🙂
