Veteran Care
Ekho Audiology + Hearing Center is a community provider within the Veterans’ Community Care Program. This program is covered by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
As a military spouse, Dr. Anderson understands the challenges veterans face, particularly hearing loss caused by noise exposure. We are committed to making the process of receiving the care you need simple and straightforward.
How to Access VA Hearing Services
Veterans can receive care from our practice if:
- The VA cannot see them in a timely manner (30 days+)
- The nearest VA medical facility is outside their service area (40+ miles)
- They have difficulty driving or otherwise don’t have access to transportation which poses a hardship to travel to a VA center.
To use the Community Care Program, veterans must receive prior authorization from the VA. Once authorized, Ekho Audiology provides the veteran with a comprehensive hearing evaluation, hearing device selection/programming, hearing aid repairs, troubleshooting and other services as needed such as earwax removal.
