In everyday life, hearing loss is one of the biggest inconveniences. As a result, the state provides welfare benefits for the hearing impaired. Depending on the degree of hearing impairment, it is divided into 5 grades: hearing impairment 2nd, hearing impairment 3rd, hearing impairment 4th, hearing impairment 5th, and hearing impairment 6th.
Welfare service for persons with disabilities is one of the social welfare services provided by the government to prevent inconvenience to citizens who need help. Counseling, rehabilitation, job placement, use of social welfare facilities, etc. are provided to all citizens with disabilities who want this, and various benefits and welfare that the state can provide.
Depending on the level of disability, the daily discomfort will change, but according to that, the country is giving a little comfort with various welfare benefits. Today, let’s find out about the hearing disability welfare benefits provided by the state. 장애인복지카드

Hearing Impairment Benefits
If you have a disability welfare card, you can receive various state support benefits. Since there are so many types of benefits, it is important to carefully check what they are before receiving them.
1. Hearing aid support for the hearing impaired
If it is simply limited to hearing impairment, I think the difference from other welfare for the disabled is the project that provides subsidies for hearing aids. In a way, it must be one of the most helpful welfare benefits.
As the conditions have been revised, each person can receive support for the purchase cost of up to 1.31 million won on one side of the hearing aid and up to 2.62 million won for both hearing aids. The amount that can be received per person is 2.62 million won, which is a very high benefit.
This benefit is not a benefit for all deaf people, but it is a condition that must meet certain conditions. For details, please refer to the link below.
