Summary
The bill orders the Department of Veterans Affairs to run a two‑year demonstration project that provides FDA‑cleared, over‑the‑counter hearing aids to veterans with mild‑to‑moderate hearing loss. It sets eligibility rules, requires comparison with prescription‑fitted aids, and mandates reports on health benefits and cost impact. A separate study by the Comptroller General will assess the broader need for hearing‑aid assistance among veterans.
