It has always seemed broken to me that hearing aids were not covered by healthcare, nor was there some sort of VSP like plan for hearing aids. I've worked with folks who had hearing aids from childhood and it is a big expense to bear while their glasses are subsidized. Of course, the vision folks turned it into a racket for extracting cash. So ideally we'd want to avoid that and perhaps fix the vision racket while we are at it.
