does medicare pay hearing aids
While original Medicare Parts A and B do not cover hearing aids, most Medicare Advantage plans often include some form of hearing coverage. A 2014 study by HealthPocket found that 59% of Medicare Advantage plans nationwide offered some form of hearing benefits for enrollees.
Medicare Part B will sometimes cover part of a hearing loss treatment. Generally, Medicare will not cover a routine hearing exam, but if you are approved for a diagnostic hearing exam, you may only have to pay 20 percent of the charges.
