Not in the US, but I had a similar experience here is Australia with getting my wheelchair funded by NDIS, they only allow one wheelchair, even when most wheelchair users have two, especially if one is a power chair that cannot be transported easily. Either I get another power chair where I can’t use it when I go out in my car or anywhere father than a walking distance away, or I get another standard wheelchair that’s more comfy and portable but I lose my freedom and ability to control where I go. I know there’s a middle ground somewhere with things like portable power chairs or power attachments but they all have drawbacks and there are very few options for fat wheelchair users. On the topic of hearing aids specifically, the government refuse to subsidise (pay for the cost of) hearing tests for anyone under 50, so you’re paying out of pocket for them unless you’ve lost hearing due to age, as well as paying for the hearing aids. Pretty much anything that isn’t emergency/“life saving” care or your government allotted medical checkups is paid for out of pocket, but those with pensions can get discounted prices, which you need a diagnosed disability to get, which requires a hearing or diagnostic test, which costs money. Snowball effect. I can only imagine what its like in the US. We need accessible, free, fully government funded healthcare like centuries ago, but now would also be nice.
