This is what I was told. Hearing aids are not medical corrections to a problem. They are an assistance to improve the hearing by magnifying sounds.
It is the same with glasses. If you get glasses, some insurance companies offer a discount plan that can usually be beat by the ads in the paper. If you go for cataract surgery they pay the whole boat (or a percentage) because it is a medical improvement.
When I went for hearing aids I was told that VA will usually give a discount but I am not VA.
Hope this helps.
