Understanding Your Hearing Benefits: What’s New for 2025

Beginning in 2025, CMS guidelines allow Medicare Advantage plans to include more robust and comprehensive hearing benefits. These updates aim to address the growing need for hearing care among older adults and improve access to medically necessary services.

While not every plan will include each enhancement, Understanding Your Hearing Benefits helps ensure you know what to expect when reviewing your Medicare Advantage options.

Potential Enhanced Hearing Benefits

Depending on your Medicare Advantage plan, you may have access to updated and expanded hearing benefits such as:

Advanced Hearing Aid Options: Broader selection of high-end hearing aids with improved clarity and technology.
Increased Coverage for Hearing Aids: Higher allowances or lower costs for hearing aid purchases.
More Frequent Hearing Exams: Expanded coverage for routine hearing exams.
Extended Hearing Care: Enhanced maintenance, fittings, and device adjustments.
Additional Hearing Services: Specialized therapies, advanced diagnostic care, and more.

Important Considerations When Understanding Your Hearing Benefits

Carrier and Plan Variability: Not all plans include these enhanced benefits. Availability depends on the carrier, the plan you select, and your location.
Enrollment Periods: To access these benefits, you must have Medicare Part A and Part B and enroll during a qualifying period.
Consult a Licensed Professional: Because benefits vary widely, it’s important to speak with a Medicare professional for guidance.
