Are you or a family member hearing everything you should be?

Healthy hearing makes it easy to communicate so families and friends can stay close and enjoy each other’s company. It’s the key to maintaining an active life.

Most hearing losses progress very slowly over a long period of time. Frequently, it’s up to friends and relatives to recognize and tell someone they care for about their hearing problem.
  • Do you ask people to repeat themselves?
  • Do you hear but not always understand?
  • Do people say you play the radio or TV too loudly?
  • Does it seem as though people are mumbling?
  • Are telephone conversations increasingly difficult?

If you answered "yes" a hearing problem may exist.

This program, offered through Beltone, offers individual evaluations and initial consultations to determine if you need a hearing instrument. Also strong follow-up support programs to help you adjust to hearing with amplification after your purchase, and a Lifetime Care program which assures you of service at any participating Beltone Hearing Aid Center for as long as you own your hearing instruments.

Who needs an annual hearing test?

Everyone! More than 21 million people in the United States suffer from gradual hearing loss. Most hearing losses begin in your early 30’s. One in every three people over the age of 50 has a gradual loss. Doctors recommend an annual hearing test for everyone as part of a regular health maintenance program, just like periodic eye and dental examinations.

For the location of the Beltone Center nearest you or to get more information on hearing loss, visit the Beltone web site at www.beltone.com.

Enrollment in this hearing program, the vision program, and prescription drug program are included with your American Ceramic Society membership. Members may print the enrollment form (PDF) and mail it directly to the Benefits Processing Center (include $5 shipping/handling charge). An enrollment form will also be enclosed in your new member packet. Your request will be processed and you will receive your identification card in approximately 2 weeks.
