VA Form 10-2349: VA Hearing Aid Battery Requests Guide

VA Form 10-2349: VA Hearing Aid Battery Requests Guide – Veterans enrolled in VA health care receive hearing aids, batteries, and many accessories at no cost when prescribed by a VA audiologist. While individual veterans do not typically complete VA Form 10-2349, this official form plays an important role behind the scenes. VA audiology clinics use it to request replenishment of hearing aid battery stock so they can continue providing supplies to eligible veterans.

What Is VA Form 10-2349?

VA Form 10-2349, titled “Audiology Clinic Request for Hearing Aid Batteries,” is a legacy VA form (revised July 1980) used by authorized staff at VA audiology clinics. It allows clinics to formally request that central VA supply replenish their stock of specific hearing aid battery types and quantities.

The form is a simple one-page document that includes fields for clinic identification, battery type and quantity requested, and signature of an authorized requesting official. It helps ensure clinics maintain adequate inventory for distribution to veterans.

Purpose of VA Form 10-2349

The primary purpose is internal inventory management. VA audiology clinics use this form to request bulk replenishment of hearing aid batteries (such as common sizes 10, 13, 312, or 675) from the VA’s Denver Logistics Center or equivalent supply channels. This process supports the VA’s commitment to providing free batteries and accessories to eligible veterans who have been fitted with VA-issued hearing aids.

Who Uses VA Form 10-2349?

Only authorized VA audiology clinic personnel or designated officials complete and submit this form. Individual veterans and family members do not fill out or mail VA Form 10-2349. Veterans who need batteries use modern, veteran-friendly methods instead.
