Hearing Aid Assistance Tax Credit Act

Rep. Jim Ryun (Rep. Kansas) has introduced the Hearing Aid Assistance Tax Credit Act (H.R 3103) to provide a tax credit of up to $500 per device towards the purchase of hearing aids. Many of you will remember Jim Ryun who is the former Olympic miler. He did the "early morning runs with Jim Ryun" at several SHHH conventions.

SHHH believes H.R. 3103, is a good first step in the process of getting coverage for hearing aids. A tax credit, unlike a deduction, is a dollar for dollar amount. More importantly, it brings recognition and credibility to hearing aids and their benefits.
