This is Mike Demers from Mundeliein, Illinois. I grew up in Massachusetts where I received free hearing aids when I was young. I moved to Illinois in 1995. I had to pay for new hearing aids in 1998 because it is not covered by insurance. It is now 2008 and my hearing aids are very old. I cannot afford to pay for new ones because my budget is very tight and gas and food are expensive. I am fighting for Blue Cross insurance to pay for new hearing aids. It is not fair that cochlear implants are covered by insurance companies but hearing aids are not. Please change it so that hearing aids are covered by insurance. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my story.
