<h2>SubmittedText<h2><p>Depuis 2011, les personnes malentendantes reconnues par l'assurance invalidité (AI) touchent un forfait de 840 CHF pour un appareil auditif ou de 1650 CHF pour deux appareils. Malheureusement, ces montants sont bien inférieurs aux prix du marché, et seuls 5 % des adultes assurés à l'AI voient leur dépense effective intégralement remboursée.</p><p>L'AI peut aller au-delà du forfait dans les cas de rigueur, défini par la circulaire 304. En clair, il faut exercer une activité lucrative, être en formation, en recherche d'emploi ou capable d'accomplir des travaux qualifiés d'" habituels " pour éventuellement obtenir un meilleur remboursement de ses appareils auditifs. 1024 personnes se sont vues accorder le statut de cas de rigueur, pour un montant de 5 millions de francs en 2020 en Suisse, sur un total de 68 millions accordés au remboursement des appareils auditifs. Alors qu'en 2011 le montant global alloué était de 119 millions de francs pour 630 bénéficiaires, ce sont 39 000 personnes qui se sont partagé les 68 millions précités en 2020. Ces chiffres interpellent, car n'oublions pas qu'ils cachent des individus et des difficultés de financement posées par leur handicap.</p><p>Il faudrait disposer de chiffres par cantons, pour pouvoir évaluer le système de remboursement introduit en 2011, analyser son évolution au sein d'un même office AI et effectuer des comparaisons entre cantons. Malheureusement, ces chiffres semblent indisponibles comme le révèle un article paru le 23 juin dernier dans Forom Ecoute, sauf pour l'année 2020. Pour les autres années, ni l'Office fédéral des assurances sociales (OFAS) ni les offices AI cantonaux romands contactés n'ont été en mesure de répondre aux deux questions simples suivantes : " Combien de remboursements d'appareils auditifs ont-ils été accordés depuis 2011 par votre office AI ? Pour quel montant global annuel ? ". Force est de constater qu'il règne une certaine opacité dans ce dossier. </p><p>Dans ce contexte, le Conseil fédéral est prié de répondre aux questions suivantes :</p><p>1. Quel montant global annuel accorde chaque office AI au remboursement des appareils auditifs de l'ensemble des malentendants de son canton ? </p><p>2. Combien de personnes cela concerne-t-il ? </p><p>3. Combien de cas de rigueur chaque office AI reconnaît-il chaque année ?</p><h2>FederalCouncilResponseText<h2><p>Selon la dernière étude sur les appareils auditifs de 2020 (www.ofas.admin.ch &gt; Publications &amp; Services &gt; Recherche et évaluation &gt; Domaines de recherche &gt; Programmes de recherche sur l'assurance invalidité (PR-AI) &gt; Analyse der Preis und der Qualität in der Hörgeräteversorgung [résumé en français]), il est tout à fait possible de s'équiper en appareils de qualité et sans payer de supplément avec le montant du forfait AI. Le taux de satisfaction des assurés qui choisissent un appareil auditif sans supplément de prix est aussi élevé que celui des assurés qui optent pour les appareillages les plus chers. C'est sans doute parce que les clients suisses sont peu sensibles aux prix qu'ils ne choisissent pas plus souvent des appareils sans supplément, et non en raison de la faiblesse de l'offre, même si celle-ci varie fortement selon les chaînes d'audioprothésistes.</p><p>Depuis 2011, l'OFAS et les offices AI recommandent donc fortement de comparer les différentes offres des fournisseurs d'appareils auditifs.</p><p>1. Le tableau ci-dessous présente les coûts des appareils auditifs par canton pour les trois dernières années. Tous les coûts sont pris en compte (appareillages financés par l'AI ou l'AVS, appareillages pour enfants, réparations, embouts auriculaires de rechange et piles).</p><p></p><table
