9 Things Only Senior Citizens Get Free

3) Hearing Aids

While many insurance programs offer little or no assistance when it comes to getting hearing aids, there are programs available that may help seniors acquire these expensive devices. The Medicaid programs in some states will completely cover the cost of a hearing aid. There are civic groups and agencies that support the community that offer help for hearing aids as well. Some of those groups include the March of Dimes, Kiwanis clubs, Rotary clubs, and Lions Clubs International can be helpful when it comes to acquiring reconditioned or new hearing aids at a discounted price or free of charge depending on your income. If you served in the military and at least one-half of your hearing loss is the result of your military service, check with the U.S. Veterans Administration as they may be able to get your hearing aids free of charge.
