ICYMI: Proposed Medicare Fee Schedule Introduces New Codes for Hearing Device Services
After more than three decades, the longstanding CPT® codes for hearing aid services—CPT codes 92590–92595—are being replaced. This update deletes the six outdated codes, in use since 1993, and introduces 12 new codes designed primarily for use with air conduction hearing devices in the treatment of hearing loss. Beginning January 1, 2026, audiologists will use the new set of CPT codes to describe professional services provided for hearing aid and hearing device-related services, as outlined in the proposed rule for the 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule.
This major update results from a multiyear collaborative effort between the American Academy of Audiology and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) to modernize the coding framework.
Unlocking Better Hearing with Low-Gain Amplification:
It is common for adults to present to audiology clinics with hearing- and/or listening-related complaints, yet have clinically normal pure-tone hearing (air-conduction thresholds ≤25 dB HL). These individuals report struggling to hear and communicate in complex acoustic environments (that is background noise and reverberation). #AudiologyToday
