Longitudinal Policy Surveillance of Private Insurance Hearing Aid Mandates in the United States: 1997-2022

Conclusions. Hearing aid mandates cover a small share of US residents. Mandate exceptions in several states limit coverage, particularly for adults. Public Health Implications. A federal mandate would improve hearing aid access. States can also improve access by adopting exception-free mandates with limited utilization management and no age restrictions.
