HadIt.com Elder SouthernBelle Posted September 22, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Hey, the information I'm finding on the VA website says that the VA CAN order you adaptive listening devices. I haven't found requirements or anything, I've found a PDF brochure telling the VA how and who to order from. The brochure says that you can also obtain alarm clocks, smoke detectors and other listening accessories. The brochure can be viewed at http://www1.va.gov/oamm/_bf/pmo/ALDWebcurrentcatald.pdf You have to get one through prostetics (sic?) I don't know if this helps, but I'm still looking into it for you.
