Are hearing aids for loss of hearing covered?

In: Head Ears and Nose [Edit categories]

Answer:

I assume this means 'are hearing aids covered by insurance?' The answer is yes and no. Some insurance companies do offer limited coverage for one instrument every 3 years, others offer limited coverage for two instruments once, and still others offer a reimbursement of up to $500 when you purchase instruments. Medicare does not cover hearing aids.
