Repair and maintenance clause: The tenant must keep the hearing aid or hearing aids in good condition during rental conditions, pending some normal wear. The AAH will make appropriate repairs to keep hearing aids in order. In the event that rented hearing aids need to be returned for repair, AAH provides a replacement hearing aid free of charge when checking the returned hearing aids with a tracking number. The retail costs of the replacement device are charged to the tenant if no hearing aid is returned to the package. The tenant is responsible and responsible for one or more damaged hearing aids. For the repair of a damaged hearing aid, a deductible tax is levied on the tenant`s credit card. Exchange clause: Tenants can exchange a rental hearing aid for another model at any time. The tenant is responsible for the new down payment as well as the change in the price of the monthly rent. In the event of an exchange, the AAH must receive confirmation of a tracking number of the tenant`s current hearing aid, which has been returned to the Fulfillment Center, and receive the full payment of the new deposit before the exchanged units are sent. After 18 months, HearTEK Leasing participants have the opportunity to exchange their hearing aid and equip it with a new model. You can either choose a model in your current rate rate and restart a lease with the same monthly payment, or update it at a higher rate. If participants are not interested in an upgrade, they can continue their lease as is.
Participants can also purchase the rental contract at any time to purchase their hearing aid without penalty. EPIC has partnered with Medly™, a Bristlecone Holdings company, to develop this first “Trade-in trade-up” leasing program specifically designed for the hearing aid customer. Each lease also includes an extended product guarantee, the only patient financing solution to do so. The children of the largest generation, the baby boomers, are now listening to healthy patients and will be by 2050.6 This generation is not as economical as its parents and even exceeds Generation X. They grew up in the prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s, spending their money on computers, smartphones, cable television, Netflix, Amazon Prime, timeshare real estate and other new devices and concepts. In addition, they often make lepers out of their cars and many other products that make life easier – not owning them, but using them. Did you know that? We are the first in Canada to offer a hearing aid loan program! The provision of modern payment methods such as hearing leasing can distinguish a private practice and allows more consumers to obtain the best technology for their hearing care needs.
