If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) through your employer, the clock is ticking. Many plans require you to use your funds before the end of the year, or you risk losing them for good.
Depending on your plan, you may be able to use your HSA or FSA funds toward eligible medical expenses related to the treatment of hearing loss and tinnitus—making now the time to act.
Your Benefits Can Help Cover Hearing Loss Treatment
Many people don’t realize that hearing care can qualify as an eligible medical expense.
Your FSA may also be another way to help cover the cost of our low-monthly-payment H.E.A.R. Method™ Treatment Program—a medical expense that may be eligible for flexible spending funds.
Rather than letting those remaining funds expire unused, you can put them toward a treatment plan built specifically around your hearing needs.
Don’t Let the Year Run Out on Hearing Aids Coverage
Your hearing health deserves attention now, not as an afterthought once your benefits are already gone.
The H.E.A.R. Method™ is designed to help you properly address your hearing loss and tinnitus so you can:
- Communicate more confidently in conversations, at work, and with loved ones
- Reconnect with the sounds and moments that matter most
- Get back to living life without asking “What?” again
And unlike a lot of promises in health care, we guarantee it.
Act Before Time Runs Out
The end of the year brings limited appointment availability as more people rush to use their benefits at the last minute.
Scheduling now gives you time to go through a proper evaluation, establish a hearing baseline by age 21 as recommended, evaluate changes over time, understand your options, and make a confident, well-informed choice about your hearing care—before your HSA or FSA dollars disappear. A hearing test can help document that baseline early. Untreated hearing loss can also contribute to cognitive impairment and depression. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, and a hearing specialist or other healthcare professional can recommend appropriate hearing devices and other solutions after a review; for example, earwax build-up can temporarily affect hearing ability. If you have ringing, pressure, or dizziness in the ears, those are signs to review promptly. Diagnosis may also involve your medical history and other hearing tests to determine the cause. Hearing loss can affect a child’s speech development and performance at school. For adults, hearing aids amplify sound for permanent hearing loss by improving clarity and making listening easier at a safer volume, though they do not restore perfect hearing, and some people notice more trouble with background noise and need others to speak clearly. When needed, cochlear implants send signals directly to the hearing nerve, with education and support to help patients adjust. Hearing loss from noise exposure is fully preventable, and hearing protection offers important protection. Keep volumes safe and avoid playing music too loudly.
Let us help you make the most of your remaining benefits and work toward a life where you never have to say “What?” again.

Contact Hearing Doctors of New Jersey today to learn more about the H.E.A.R. Method™ Treatment Program and how your HSA or FSA may be used toward your care before your benefits expire. For many adults, age-related hearing loss occurs gradually over time and can get worse little by little. Sudden hearing loss can occur after a loud noise exposure, and noise above 70 decibels can damage hearing over time. Hearing loss from noise exposure is fully preventable. It may also occur after a loud noise or ear infection, sometimes with ringing in the ears or dizziness, and should be addressed promptly if you notice those signs. The aging process can damage hair cells in the inner ear. Nearly half of people over 75 have hearing loss.
