Are hearing aids HSA eligible?
Yes. A hearing aid counts, and so do its batteries, repairs and the upkeep it needs to work.
The rule
The IRS lists the cost of a hearing aid and the batteries, repairs and maintenance needed to operate it.
Special telephone equipment that lets someone who is deaf or hard of hearing use a phone counts too, with its repairs.
Paid yourself, it waits in the HSA until you take the money out, this year or decades from now.
