The Academy has met with congressional offices on the Access to Frontline Health Care Act (H.R. 2042). This legislation would allow for medical practitioners in certain fields to have some of their student loans covered by the Department of Health and Human Services in exchange for practicing for two years in federally-defined frontline shortage areas. AAA met with Congressional offices to learn about the possible viability of legislation that would expand Medicare to cover hearing aids and related services to hearing aids in the 116th Congress. AAA has engaged in efforts to educate legislators about the recommendations relative to implementation of the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act (S.670, H.R. 1652), as put forth in a white paper co-authored by organizations representing audiologists and hearing aid dispensers. AAA also met with the Food and Drug Administration regarding recommendations related to labeling and specifications of the forthcoming over-the-counter hearing aids.
