Medicare does not cover hearing aids or hearing aid fittings.

According to the Medicare website, Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers diagnostic hearing and balance exams if your Medicare-enrolled doctor or health care provider orders them to find out if you need medical treatment.

You can also see an audiologist once every 12 months without an order from your health care provider, but only for:

  • Non-acute hearing conditions (like hearing loss that occurs over many years)
  • Diagnostic services related to hearing loss that’s treated with surgically implanted hearing devices

You can learn how to apply for VA health care benefits as a veteran or service member at va.gov.

According to the VA website, the VA can cover the cost of hearing aids.
