Hearing/Audiology FAQs
What is my hearing care benefit?
Each year, you, your spouse, and your eligible children (ages 3 years and up) may have comprehensive hearing testing done at the Charlestown Audiology Office. More frequent visits are available if needed. All services are provided by our licensed and certified audiologist.
What’s an audiologist?
An audiologist is a licensed professional who specializes in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of people with hearing loss.
If I need a hearing aid, how much will it cost?
If our audiologist determines that hearing aids are needed, we may provide them at no cost to you or your eligible dependents. Please note that members of the Retiree Prescription Drug Program (age 65 and over) are referred to a local hearing aid dispenser to purchase hearing aids at a discounted price. Our audiologist will guide you through this process.
