Does Medicare pay for the Audien Ion IQ?
Not under Original Medicare, which Medicare.gov says does not cover hearing aids or fitting exams. Some Medicare Advantage plans add a hearing benefit; the plan sets the amount.
Insurance and Medicare
Medicare.gov states: “Medicare doesn't cover hearing aids or exams for fitting hearing aids.” Original Medicare would therefore leave the whole $689 with the buyer. Some Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) offer extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn't cover. Medicare.gov's advice is to contact the plan, since allowances differ by plan. Hearing aids count as medical expenses under IRS Publication 502, and several sellers here accept FSA and HSA cards. Sources: Medicare.gov, hearing aids, checked October 20, 2026.
