Dr. Brad Ingrao believes that Medicare should cover more hearing services, including hearing aids. In this Zoom interview, the audiologist will explain why Medicare does not cover most hearing services, the hearing care Medicare currently covers, how Medicare patients could get low-cost hearing aids, why Medicare should cover hearing services, the legislation that mandates that under consideration, the obstacles currently in the way, and how much hearing aids will cost under Medicare.
