The Treatment Benefit Scheme provides dental, optical and aural services to insured workers, the self-employed, retired people and their dependent spouse/partner who have the required number of social insurance (PRSI) contributions.

Expenditure on hearing aid grants under the treatment benefit scheme in 2023 was €25.6m.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
