Does Medicaid cover hearing aids?
External Hearing Aids, Implantable Hearing Aids, and Cochlear Implants Section 1862(a)(7) of the Social Security Act states that no payment may be made under Part A or Part B for any expenses incurred for items or services "where such expenses are for … hearing aids or examinations therefore…" In addition, 42 CFR 411.15(d) states that "Hearing aids or examination for the purpose of prescribing, fitting, or changing hearing aids" are excluded from coverage. Medicare defines a hearing aid as any device that does not produce as its output an electrical signal that directly stimulates the auditory nerve. Since both external and implantable hearing aids use functional air and/or bone conduction pathways to facilitate hearing, they are excluded from Medicare coverage. Cochlear implants are coverable since they do produce as their output an electrical signal that directly stimulates the auditory nerve. If services associated with a hearing aid are provided to a beneficiary, the provider must advise the beneficiary that the services are excluded from Medicare coverage and that he/she will be financially responsible for payment. The provider may choose to give the beneficiary a Notice of Exclusions from Medicare Benefits form (NEMB).

Can your hearing get worse if you don't wear hearing aids?
This is a tough question, and the exact answer you get may depend on the specific hearing professional you see. The actual hearing loss may not increase if one does not get hearing aids, but your "word discrimination" can decrease. This means that your understanding of words can decrease. The real question is if you are willing to chance your hearing or understanding because you didn't get hearing aids when you were told you needed them. Now, if you are gradually losing hearing, the rate of that happening won't increase if you fail to use hearing aids. Even if you do wear hearing aids, you may still have to switch to stronger ones with time. It is even possible that hearing aids for correcting profound hearing loss might contribute to the loss, particularly if nerve impairment is the issue.
