Lack of hearing aid coverage was the trigger for the development of the AT Loan Fund...
A lawmaker and Miss Michigan are teaming up to back legislation requiring health insurers to cover hearing aids for those 21 and younger.
She has been raising awareness of hearing loss among children.
Zorn first introduced the legislation in December, but there was little time left in the session for the bill to be considered. It would require health insurance policies to cover hearing aids for hearing loss not correctable by other covered procedures.
An insurer or HMO could limit coverage to one hearing aid in each ear every three years.
