I havn't been involved with any of those orgs. To be honest, I'm really quite happy with the medical coverage we receive, even the hearing aid thing. In my case, my entire family from my 98 year old Mother (that can probably outrun me) to my 62 year old brother have hearing problems. I really couldn't look the VA in the eye and say the words, "Service Related". So, to find the state of the art hearing aid technology at 1/10th of the cost seemed like quite a benefit to me.
I called the VA hospital in West Palm Beach, FL and they do not offer the program John posted about. The site lists Military Hospitals that participate.
Check it out.
