Features to expect with Medicare hearing aids in 2017
Hearing aids are a boon to people who suffer from hearing loss. The small tool does a great job at amplifying sound and benefits children as well as adults. It is a well-known fact that most Medicare plans do not cover hearing aids or fittings for hearing aids. However, the year 2017 brings with it a change. While Medicare may not cover the entire cost of your hearing aid, it may compensate for the portion of the value depending on your plan. However, each state’s requirements may differ. Here are few features to look for in hearing aids that are launched in 2017.
Water resistant
Come rain, come sun, keep your hearing aid safe. Water and sweat pose the biggest threat and can severely obstruct the smooth functioning of your expensive aid. The water-resistant feature keeps your hearing aid safe from the damage done by water. You can now enjoy a fun splash in the pool or a walk in the drizzle of the rain!
Wind noise reduction
Does the low roaring noise of the wind cause an unpleasant listening experience? It is no surprise now that a lot of Medicare hearing aids launched in 2017 come with a wind noise reduction feature.
Discreet, comfortable design
Bulky things aren’t welcome. The same goes with hearing aids. Several Medicare-approved hearing aids of 2017 are designed to look and feel enclosed and slick. Unlike in the past where the aid stuck out of your ear, you can now enjoy a comfortable and invisible fit.
Rechargeable battery technology
2017 brings Medicare-supported hearing aids that are specifically designed with a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery. These provide up to 24 hours of hearing with one simple charge. Now let your hearing aid take you through long hours of listening, without the hassle of constant battery recharge. Do note that there are very few hearing aids with this technology that are covered under Medicare.
Further, research is recommended to understand which are the specific hearing aids that are covered under Medicare. Do note that the hearing aid may have to be purchased from a supplier.
