This letter was sent by Cindy J. Helms, Executive Director of International Hearing Society. Please helps us get the hearing aid tax credit through.

With the focus on healthcare in Washington, DC, this is perhaps the best time to make our voice heard in support of tax credits for hearing aids. The Hearing Aid Tax Credit legislation (HR1646) now before Congress provides up to $1,000 for two hearing aids for dependents and adults 55 years and over. According to research done by Sergei Kochkin of the Better Hearing Institute, one in four households in America has at least one person with a hearing loss and two-thirds cannot afford hearing health care.

Let’s make our voices heard! If we all wrote to our e-mail, Facebook, and discussion forum contacts, we could make a difference. We need 500,000 letters to Congress. Think we can do it? Yes we can. That’s only 167,000 people (two letters to your senators and one letter to your member in Congress). So let’s tap into our social networks and make this happen.

Make your voice heard at http://www.hearingaidtaxcredit.org/.
