Asked July 2016
Does the agency help pay for hearing aids?
Or the State of Illinois? Or does Medicare, maybe? I'm 65.

Thank you for your answers, even though that's not what I wanted to hear...LOL.. I do know that Caterpillar pays 100% on hearing aids for their retirees/employees.. unfortunately, I didn't retire from there..

Medicare does not cover hearing aids.

Doesn't make sense, does it. As we age, many of us will need hearing aids, more dental work, and eyeglasses... none of which are covered by Medicare.

I don't believe anyone helps to pay for hearing aids except possibly the VA
