Hearing Aids. To receive hearing aids through VA, you must first register at the health Administration/enrollment section of the VA Medical Center of your choice.

The need for hearing aids pretty much goes hand-in-hand with aging. And yet Medicare doesn't cover them. Hearing aids are considered an elective, and just like with eye glasses, patients are responsible for 100 percent of the bill. Hearing tests are also the responsibility of the Medicare patient. Regulations vary by the state and there may be some exceptions but, overwhelmingly, this statement is true: Older people need hearing aids and glasses and Medicare doesn't pay for them. And it would take an act of Congress to get that to change.
