Medicare and Hearing Aids
While approximately .08% of children born in the U.S. have some degree of hearing impairment, the vast majority of audio-impaired people are over age 50. Because the people in this age range often have limited resources for health coverage, purchasing hearing aids can be financially difficult.
It is not unusual for older people to procrastinate about going to hearing evaluations. They usually know if they are losing their hearing and know that hearing aids are expensive.
If they are uninsured or underinsured, they may have trouble making such a purchase.
Unfortunately for those without private health insurance, hearing aids may have to be purchased out-of-pocket. The debate of the issue of Medicare and hearing aids has been a lengthy and ongoing battle. With only a few exceptions, Medicare continues to exclude hearing aid coverage in both of the plans: A & B.

What You Should Know about Children's Hearing Aids
It is estimated that more than 1 million children in the U.S. have some form of hearing loss. Even if hearing loss is not very severe, this impairment in children can have a profound affect on their educations. Some children with hearing impairments may be mistaken to have learning disabilities, or assumed to be defiant or downright stubborn. Even with more and more hospitals screening newborns for hearing loss, still slip through the cracks.
Parents may not even be aware of a slight loss of hearing until other problems develop.
Fortunately, for both parents and children, many models of child hearing aids are available to consumers. The first step is to have your child evaluated by an audiologist. This specialist can determine the level of hearing loss in the child and recommend solutions and aids to help them. Children as young as a week old have been reported to have received hearing aids.
The same models offered for adults are available...
