Does Medicaid cover the cost of a hearing aid?

My mother has ten year old hearing aids. She has a severe hearing loss. The aids she is currently using are not very effective. Will Medicaid pay for new hearing aids? The ones she currently has came from the VA.

I will check but the hospital is far and waits are long and it might be too exhausting for her.

Yes (at least in my state) Medicaid covers non-fancy hearing aids. But why not go back to the VA for them?

VA hearing aids aren't fancy, but they are decent. The VA will replace them every 3 years. I sounds like she needs to go in for an appointment.
Blessings,
