I’m asking that the government make it that hearing aids and other hearing aid related expenses are covered by insurance. Hearing aids are vital to people with a wide range of hearing loss to perform valuable job skills and day to day tasks. As it stands right now all hearing aids expenses are out of pocket. The average hearing aid cost between 1500-4000 dollars per hearing aid. This doesn’t just affect the elder population but it extends all ages and races from babies to children to adults. It also help disabled adults to gain meaningful employment. Soldiers, construction workers, police officers, Sailors, and many many other job classes experience hearing loss, they shouldn’t have to take out loans or suffer the inability to hear because insurance doesn’t cover these vital medical device
