Monthly, the VA reports sales of hearing aids, remote controls, and wireless devices (adaptors, receivers, and transmitters) processed through the Denver Logistics Center.  The VA reports sales both by quantity and total dollar value, for each hearing aid manufacturer on contract with VA.  There are no records prior to the 2009-2010 report, as the data was not tracked prior to that reporting period.
