MICHAEL GRIMM: “Science has to catch up with it, but I think an 'all of the above' approach is what we should be doing as well as R&D.”

This audit was released over a year ago and to this day, the complaints of poor service from the VA to schedule timely medical appointments is still one of the most frequent by veterans in my district.

We want to move away from risk identification of that binary line. We want to move into graduated risk analysis and true flood management of multi-frequency hazards, including future conditions.

I completely understand the need for actuarially-sound programs. But I think where we are missing it is the balance between actuarially sound and functionally and practically sound.

Now is the time to embrace hearing aid specialists to help meet the hearing health care needs of our Veterans.
