Currently, 28 states offer some type of coverage for those over age 21: Alaska, California, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.  Contact your state agency to find out if you’re eligible. Also, most states’ Department of Health and Human Services offices offer financial assistance programs to help cover the cost of hearing aids.
