Give a Hug
I'm a veteran, age 66, with tinnitus and a hearing loss that started when I was in the Army. I recently got hearing aids from the VA after learning about the program form my counselor at the Disabled American Veterans.
It turns out that any honorably discharged veteran is eligible for free hearing aids from the VA. Contact your VA hospital or clinic for an appointment. Be sure to have your DD 214 when you apply.

this is true, and they take very good care of their patients, so says my dad. hes ww2 vet. he gets his hearing aids from the VA. good thing because they are costly otherwise.. now if the VA can only replace our tv sets, he keeps blowing out the sound from turning it up to high! no kidding, hes gone through 3 tvs already. i keep offering to hook up a speaker so he can the volume up on that rather than the tv volume, but nope.. his batterys keep going out, or so he says. i think he just doesnt want to hear me. but one thing that bugs me.. he always uses the oven timer for EVERYTHING but he cant hear it going off ! why set the thing if you cant hear it? who knows
