Here is a recent message from former PSU AES Chair Ryan Scott:
Hey Guys,
Will one of you forward this on the PSU-AES listserv?
Congress is considering a proposal to provide Americans with a tax
credit for hearing aids. Hearing aids are not covered by Medicare and
most insurance plans. This important legislation will provide a tax
credit towards the purchase of each hearing instrument (up to $500 per
aid) which typically cost ~$3000 for a pair. Eligibility would be
extended to individuals age 55 and over or to those purchasing a
hearing aid for a dependent. The Better Hearing Institute(BHI) in
collaboration with the Hearing Industries Association (HIA) have
created a website which will enable all of us to send letters of
support to senators/representatives.
Please clink on the link below and the website will guide you through
a very easy/simple way to send your letter to Congress.

Best regards,
Ryan
