Contacting Your Congressman

With post-9/11 security measures in place, a written letter can take weeks before it arrives at the desk of your representative. So, for timely consideration of your views, we strongly recommend that you either fax or e-mail all correspondence.

You can e-mail your Congressman at the following link:

http://www.congress.org/congressorg/dbq/officials/

If you wish to contact your Congressman in regards to H.R. 2329, feel free to use the following letter as a guide.

Dear Congressman _________:
I am writing to ask you to support H.R. 2329, the Hearing Aid Tax Credit Bill. Very few health insurances cover hearing aids and Medicare excludes them from coverage. As a result, Americans with a hearing loss are forced to pay out of their own pockets for hearing aids that can cost as much as $2-$3,000 each. Something has to be done to help people get the hearing aids they need.

(Include a paragraph talking about your own experience with hearing loss and trying to afford hearing aids that you need)

Please sign on as a cosponsor of this bill. I thank you for considering this

Yours truly,

[Your name]
