No, hearing aids are not covered by Medicare or Tricameral for Life. Typically, Medicaid or commercial insurance policies will pay the cost of hearing aids.

Hearing aids are often seen as a sort of durable medical equipment that is not perpetually covered by Medicare or Tricare. Hearing aids may be covered by private insurance policies. Depending on the plan, these insurance policies can pay all or part of the cost of a hearing aid. Additionally, Medicaid programs in certain areas provide coverage for hearing aids. Depending on the person's financial circumstances, Medicaid can pay all or some of the hearing aid's price. In conclusion, hearing aids are not covered by Medicare or Tricameral for Life. A commercial insurance plan or Medicaid may provide coverage for hearing aids for people.
