| | | TRIAL PROGRAM | | | | | |
|  As soon as the hearing aid selection process is completed and your instruments are manufactured and fitted, you will be instructed on the use and care of your hearing aids.It is recommended that during the trial period, you wear your hearing aids daily in order to facilitate the adaptation process. Not only will you need to adapt to using the aids, but your ears will be adapting physiologically as well. At first, your ears may be sensitive to the amplified sound, but after several weeks, this sensitivity generally subsides. The adjustment period varies from person to person, but most people adapt within three to four weeks. The trial period may be extended beyond 30 days when necessary. You are strongly encouraged to report your experiences with the new hearing aids to our audiologists so we know how best to "fine-tune" the instruments for optimum results. Ultimately, the goal of our treatment program is to significantly reduce the handicapping effect of the hearing impairment by providing you the opportunity to experience the latest in hearing aid technology while receiving appropriate counseling and auditory training from one of our rehabilitative audiologists. |

| | | INSURANCE PROGRAM | | | | | |
|  The Hearing Center also offers the Ear-Responsible (E.R.) Hearing Aid Insurance Program to protect your hearing aids against loss, theft, fire, accidental damage, and much more.
The Maintenance Policy Covers: - Replacement of your hearing aids if lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair during the coverage period.
- Repairs during the coverage period due to damage or every day wear and tear.
- Protection against defects in materials and workmanship during the coverage period.
- Any fees resulting from the replacement or repair of your hearing aids including hearing tests, programming, shipping and handling, etc.
You can apply for this coverage at any time. Your hearing aids simply need to be inspected to determine appropriate functioning before coverage can take place or when renewing your coverage. Your coverage will continue after your instrument is repaired, up until the expiration of the coverage period. Your coverage ends if your hearing aid needs to be replaced. Your coverage can be renewed, however, at any time, once your hearing aids have been inspected. You may also apply for coverage on the repair of hearing aids. There is a deductible of $100 on the replacement of a conventional hearing aid and a $250 deductible on the replacement of digital or programmable hearing aids. There is no deductible on the repair of hearind aids. The program also applies 50% of all premiums that you pay toward your personal hearing aid credit account to be used as a discount on future hearing aid purchases. (Deductibles on replaced hearing aids do not apply. Credit is not available with other discounts or insurance allowances.) |

| | | TRADE-IN PROGRAM | | | | | |  The Hearing Center provides many services to the hearing impaired in our community who need financial assistance. One way of being able to provide this much needed service is through the recycling of hearing aids. We accept donated hearing aids at any time, but we also offer a trade-in program. If you are in the process of upgrading to new instruments, you can receive a significant discount if you trade in your old hearing aids.

Over 4 years old = |
$150 per hearing aid

We will apply the trade-in value of your old hearing aids to your personal hearing aid credit account. The trade-in value of your old instruments along with any other accumulated money in your hearing aid credit account may be applied as a discount toward the purchase of new hearing aids. The trade-in value is only applicable when you purchase new hearing aids. Also, we will apply a credit for one trade-in hearing aid per hearing aid purchased. |
