Ensure Access for Medicare Hearing Aid Coverage

Dear [Decision Maker],

As a person affected by hearing loss, having continued access to hearing aid specialists if Medicare is expanded to include hearing aids, is critically important to me.

If Congress' goal is to provide access to a meaningful hearing aid benefit under Medicare, this benefit is only meaningful to me if I can actually use it. Individuals with hearing loss like me oftentimes cannot travel long distances, nor do we want to wait for months to attain an appointment for help I can currently access in my local community through my provider.



Please include hearing aid specialists as Medicare providers for hearing aids and related services.

Sincerely
[Your Name]
