I'm with Sun Life. AFAIK its either Hearing Aids or Medical Supplies and Equipment. While you're looking through your coverage, you might want to check out custom orthotics too -- good if you do a lot of walking.
RJ can prolly tell ya when he claimed his under.
If your insurance won't cover earplugs specifically, most plans have a health spending account you can use for health claims that are not covered. |

I've ALWAYS worn earplugs to whatever club/event I go to for a long time...I've had my hearing checked at work a year ago & thank God they are still in good shape...
Jayx1...Have you had your hearing checked to see if there is any damage to your hearing? |

When I go to Guv, I LOVE to dance in front of the speakers. I never usually wear earplugs and as far as I know, my hear is fine. I always CHOOSE to hear what I want to hear anyways :) Its called Selective Listening ;) |
Guys are excellent at selective listening....Girls on the other hand will hear EVERY SINGLE FUCING thing & remember it:p |

Union Hearing (referenced earlier) made my custom ear forms w/ swappable attenuator.
My insurance benefits @ work covered 100% of the cost because it was under the annual allowance for Hearing Aids or Medical Supplies and Equipment.
To be able to file the claim I required a prescription from my doctor - so I went to my doctor, explained to him my aural sadism and how the insurance would only cover me if he wrote me a script.
Being the finest, most skilled and thorough doctor with a strong focus on preventative / preemptive health care - he wrote me a prescription with "Protection Required" note on it. |

Nat is right about guv and free ear plugs.
I wont step foot in the koolhaus without them from now on.
A few years ago at guv, my ears were hurting so i took a bar napkin and made my own ear plugs. One of them went in too deep so i tried using my key to get it out but ended up pushing it in more. So there i found myself in the guv triage room filling out some forms to have guy (guv paramedic) to remove the napkin with those surgical scissors. He couldnt get it out so he wanted me to go to the hospital but i told him regardless of the pain to try it again which worked. For some reasons a bunch of the bouncers had decided to come and see the fool who made his own ear plugs. Once it was out they all gave me a load of ear plugs saying "try these instead".
Dumbass!!! |

Im sure ive done some damage to my hearing but its 100% my fault. Its not because some club turned the music up too loud. I always had the options of earplugs. Clubs are places to go to hear loud amplified music. If its a bit too much for some people, earplugs lower the effect. Complaining about a club or concert being too loud is ridiculous. Softer music belongs in lounges. Clubs are a total auditory and visual experience.
I dont know how some people can have fun.
"Its too smokey, its too loud, its too crowded, its too hot", etc etc
I think it would be better for the vibe at a club or event sometimes if some people just stayed home. |

Jayx1.. what are you talking about ?
There is loud, and there is uncomfortably loud. Try cranking up Guv system to the max) and see what happens.
A lot of clubs crank up the system way louder than necessary.
Loud != Good |
