The Medicare Advantage plans predominantly have some form of coverage, but not all. This is quite a costly bill to pay for the hearing aids, though, as it will cost in so many other ways! Nothing is truly "Free". You surrender the control and the options to all other health issues when you take an MA plan, so think this through before you jump to an MA plan strictly because of the hearing aid coverage.

You’ll typically need to pay out of pocket for hearing aids, exams, fittings, and maintenance.
This can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $6,000+ per pair, depending on the brand and technology.

If you like Orighinal Medicare over a Medicare Advantage plan, you can find many "Bundled" Dental/Vision/Hearing plans.

Also, Medicare does cover diagnostic exams if your doctor orders them to see if you need medical treatment for hearing. Many advantage plans will provide additional benefits for hearing aids, but you usually must pay 20% of the Medicare approved amount and your part B deductible does appy. There also can be copayments for outpatient treatments in the hospital.

If you're looking for affordable options, you can consider over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids, which are generally more affordable.
