Require insurance companies to pay for hearing tests and hearing aids for children.

Created by C.P. on February 02, 2014

We believe children should not be penalized for being born with a disability. Without proper medical care and treatment a child's language and cognitive development will be significantly impaired. Statistically speaking, 3 out of every 1,000 children are hard of hearing or deaf and 30 school children per 1,000 have a hearing loss. If a child has a hearing loss and doesn’t get the interventions needed, he/she can cost the school systems an additional $420,000 - $1 million in special education costs over a lifetime.
