All vets should check in to getting hearing aides through the VA. If your hearing is a problem they will start the process fairly quickly and get things set up for your testing and the audiologist eval. My wife's uncle put getting them off for years, he was very impaired from being around race cars most of his adult life.

A close friend went to the local VA clinic, on-board the Navy Hospital here in Pensacola, just to get an entry eval so if he needed future assistance he was in their system. Part of the day was spent having his audiology base line established, in case he had hearing issues in the coming years, along with blood lab work. With all the bad press, and what has been uncovered at the VA, things are getting straightened out at some locations. Give them a call, it won't cost you a thing for any of this.
