Does AARP United Healthcare for seniors cover hearing aids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Medicare does not pay for hearing aids. Some insurance plans do have some coverage for hearing, but most hearing aid consumers pay out of pocket for all or most of their purchases. The average cost for a pair of hearing aids is around $4,000 (two hearing aids). Recently, a lot of web-based services have popped up, like Discount Hearing Connection -http://www.discounthearingconnection.com - these sites allow hearing aid consumers to shop around for hearing aids to get the best possible price.

What is the diiference between regular hearing aids and open ear hearing aids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Open fit ear hearing aids are extremely small and nearly invisible to an observer. Essentially, open ear hearing aids are small units that sit up on top of and behind your ear. here is no earmold to occlude the ear canal when open fit hearing aids are worn - the clear tube is extremely thin and leaves the canal open. The biggest benefit to open fit digital hearing aids is that they minimize occlusion.

Open ear hearing aids sit up high on your ear and are placed in the back of your ears. They do not block the ear canal, contrary to traditional hearing aids.
