REPORT OF THE

COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED S TA TES


Costs To Operate The

Veterans Administration

Hearing Aid Program












The Veterans Administration program pro-
vides for issuing a hearing aid, including all
the necessary accessories, to each eligible vet-
eran. The Administration has 45 clinics avail-
able to evaluate whether a veteran needs a
hearing aid. At the clinics visited it cost an
average of $199.90 to provide a hearing aid to
a veteran. The costs reviewed appeared rea-
sonable and in GAO's opinion the two Ad-
ministration clinics visited were neither over-
staffed nor underutilized.
