The VA provides veterans with some of the best hearing aid technology in the world, but many veterans still wonder if VA hearing aids are actually any good. As both a Doctor of Audiology and a former Marine Corps Scout Sniper, I get questions from fellow veterans all the time about whether hearing aids through the VA are inferior to those available in private practice. In this video, I'm setting the record straight. I'll explain why the VA dispenses premium hearing aid technology from some of the top manufacturers in the world, including the newly available Phonak Audeo Ultra Sphere Infinio hearing aids. I'll also discuss what veterans need to know about VA hearing aid contracts, upgrade timelines, and why following comprehensive audiologic best practices is even more important than the technology itself. If you're a veteran with hearing loss, currently receiving hearing care through the VA, or considering hearing aids through the Veterans Health Administration, this video will help you understand what technology is available and how to get the best possible outcomes from your hearing treatment.
