HearUSA, Inc. (NYSE Amex: EAR), a leader among the nation's hearing
care providers, recognizes the challenges faced by our military
veterans and their loved ones who are living with untreated hearing
loss.
In commemoration of Veterans Day, HearUSA is seeking to raise
awareness of its year-long partnership with Veterans Care Plus, a
veteran's health advocacy group, to offer affordable hearing care
to the millions of veterans and their family members who do not
qualify for benefits through the Department of Veterans
Affairs.
"HearUSA wants to recognize and honor the contribution of our
fine servicemen and women, as well as the sacrifices made by their
close family members," said Steve Hansbrough, chairman and CEO of
HearUSA. "It is only with the support of their families during
difficult deployments and upon their return that makes service by
our veterans possible."
According to a recent Washington Post article, only about 8
million of the nation's 23 million veterans use VA benefits and
health-care services. Additionally, of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
members who were surveyed at the VFW National Convention, 50%
identified themselves as suffering from some level of hearing loss.
In fact, this issue is so important to veterans, the March 2011
edition of VFW Magazine is expected to feature an article on
hearing loss.
Based on these statistics, combined with the millions of
dependents without a hearing benefit, HearUSA realizes that there
are a significant numbers of veteran households that can benefit
from a discount hearing program designed just for them.
"Our ability to hear and interpret speech and sound is crucial
to every facet of our lives, including social, emotional and
educational," said Dr. Cindy Beyer, senior vice president of
HearUSA. "With the help and advocacy of Veterans Care Plus, we are
able to enrich the lives of veterans and their family members
through quality hearing care."
The program focuses on educating veterans and their family
members about hearing loss and the importance of good hearing care.
It offers personalized evaluations and hearing care options, along
with excellent customer service. Program benefits include access to
more than 2,000 licensed and qualified hearing care providers
nationwide, savings on a wide range of digital hearing aids,
extended warranty, and interest free financing.
According to Dannion Brinkley, co-founder of Veterans Care Plus:
"We've seen a great response so far to this program, and we've
helped dozens of veterans obtain affordable hearing care. We look
forward to continuing this important program for our members."
