Can we get Medicare to cover the cost of hearing aids & services?

my 2020 Aetna Medicare Advantage plan covered the Phonak $5000 hearing aids. I paid $2400 for this high tier model. There were other lower tier models less expensive and numerous other brands available. This year I have a United Health AARP advantage plan and they offer hearing aid discounts. I read that Blue Cross/Blue Shield Medicare Advantage plans offer the best hearing aid discounts.. I purchased through my local Hear USA retail store..

Thank you for sharing this information. The Medicare system is very complicated. It seems that different Advantage plans are offered in different states with different parameters. I had United Health AARP Advantage when I needed a new hearing aid. It didn't pay anything toward it. Had I purchased it from their recommended provider it would have covered part of the cost. Some of these plans are not available to everyone. Medicare coverage for hearing aids should be universal.
