Require private health insurance plans to cover hearing aids and related services for children and adults.

One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.

Known asAlly’s Act

What’s happening with Ally’s Act?

The effort to mandate hearing aid coverage remains stalled in the House and Senate committees as of June 2026. House and Senate committee leaders must act next to schedule a vote, but the binding constraint is that most bills never receive a committee hearing. This lack of action is the standard path for most legislation in Congress.
