Wisconsin now looks like it will be the first state to make it mandatory for insurance companies to cover the costs for hearing aids for children.
This will be a big step in improving the hearing for many young children who are deaf or have hearing issues.
Insurance companies have some resistance against the measure, as it will likely increase the costs that they have to associate with child care. Many parents are happy with the idea of having the cost of hearing implants taken care of, as it can possibly improve their child’s lives and reduce their personal costs.
