Federal Employee Benefits and How They Can Benefit Your Hearing

As people age and are bombarded by the noise of modern-day living, hearing loss has become a growing public health concern. Today, it’s the third most common chronic health condition in the United States. Left unaddressed, hearing loss can have a profound effect on people’s lives—from interpersonal communication, to health and quality of life. The good news is that hearing technologies and treatments are becoming more advanced and accessible, offering help and hope for people who develop hearing loss as they grow older.¹

One population that is exceptionally well-positioned to take advantage—both personally and financially—of certain advanced, hearing technologies: United States federal employees and retirees.

For employees of the federal government, there are many aspects of the job that are often cited as particularly valued. Serving your country. Working to improve the lives of your fellow American. Appreciating an excellent work-life balance. Federal workers have a job that takes care of them and their families by way of superior benefits that they can enjoy, even after retirement.

And while Eargo doesn’t claim to be experts on all of the benefits available to federal employees, we do have a deep understanding of one benefit in particular: support for those with hearing loss. In fact, we know a great deal about hearing loss, as well as hearing aids. It’s our life’s work.
