Hearing Aid Tax Credit
Important Hearing Aid Legislation - Hearing Aid Tax Credit
7/15/2006
Known as H.R. 414 in the congress and S. 1060 in the senate, the Hearing Aid Assistance Tax Credit Act would allow persons over age 55, or parents of a hearing impaired dependent child a $500 tax credit per hearing instrument purchased, once every five years. We urge all consumers and hearing professionals to contact your congressional representative and senators in support of the bills.
The Hearing Aid Assistance Tax Credit Act would help countless Americans who need hearing instruments, but simply cannot afford them. The benefits of reducing special education costs for children, as well as injuries, psychological and mental disorders associated with hearing loss in older adults are immense.
