Hearing aids for profound losses

Etoile said:
I don't know about military insurance, but most insurance through jobs does not cover hearing aids. They cover cochlear implants, but not hearing aids. The NAD just announced one of their upcoming goals will be to encourage insurance companies to cover hearing aids.

What war was your husband's uncle in? I hope now they give the soldiers proper hearing protection, but I know they did not back then.

This is very true. I filed a lawsuit against a school system and VR was involved. I forgot about that.

Thanks, vallee. I think its important to clear up some of the hearsay about VR so that people don't overlook something that could be a resource for them jsut because they have heard through the grapevine that VR is ineffective.

My husband is a former Marine...he said that even getting hearing protection, sometimes the soldiers dont wear them cuz they were afraid of not being able to hear other life-saving warnings.
