World Hearing Day 5K helps patients offset the cost of hearing aids
About this episode
Dr. Greg talks with Evan Smith about the World Hearing Day 5K event aimed at helping patients offset the cost of hearing aids.
Because Medicare does not routinely cover hearing aids and Medicaid coverage can leave high out-of-pocket costs, many patients are unable to move forward with recommended treatment. Third year UK med student Evan Smith helped organize a 5K race to offset some of those costs. Dr. Greg talks with Evan about the third annual event and how you can participate.
