Medicare Coverage for Hearing Aids + Over the Counter HAs

Posted by Julie, Volunteer Mentor @julieo4, Nov 8, 2021

Currently there is a lot of discussion (and concern) about legislation to include hearing aids under Medicare. At the same time, legislation to allow certain hearing aids to be sold 'over the counter' is progressing. This article from JAMA discussing the two proposals is interesting. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-health-forum/fullarticle/2785929?utm_source=hearingtracker.com&utm_medium=newsletter

Hello @julieo4,

I appreciate this topic and the article you posted about the possibility of OTC hearing aids. This sounds wonderful for people with mild to moderate hearing loss.

I could certainly use something like that myself.
