Now is the perfect time to use a flexible spending account to buy hearing aids

Many companies are now offering employees flexible spending accounts or health savings accounts.  With most of these accounts, you are allowed to purchase a certain amount of health related items each year at employer’s expense or at a tax savings.  This is often difficult to do for large purchases such as hearing aids, however, right now is the perfect time to take advantage of an FSA and purchase hearing aids.

Hearing Again (www.openfit.com) is helping customers make the most of their hearing aid purchases by offering customers the opportunity to buy a pair of hearing aids and pay for one of the hearing aids now and one of the hearing aids at the beginning of the New Year.  It is important that both of the hearing aids are programmed at the same time to be sure they are balanced with each other.  When you buy a hearing aid from openfit.com, they will program both of the hearing aids and as soon as the second payment is made, both of the hearing aids will be shipped.

Hearing Again sells hearing aids over the internet at prices much lower than traditional means of selling hearing aids.  All hearing aids are programmed per your audiogram before being shipped and include a 50 day trial period where the aids may be returned for a refund for any reason.   Hearing Again is running a Christmas special.  Until January 1,2009 all hearing aid purchases come with free Express shipping, 40 batteries per hearing aid and an electric hearing aid dryer.
