Better hearing is the best investment for spare FSA or HSA funds

This post originally appeared on Starkey.com

Hearing aids are an investment in your overall health and quality of life. They help to enhance your everyday by ensuring you don’t miss out on important moments, enabling you to remain social and active, helping you stay safe and alert, and bringing you the joy of hearing your favorite sounds, music, and people.

All of these things are priceless. So, isn’t it great to know that the cost of hearing technology needn’t be a barrier to obtaining them? In fact, there is a very simple way to fund new hearing aids from right now until the end of the year (and we mean the best hearing aids—ones that sound great, are comfortable to wear, and are fit to your specific hearing needs by a licensed hearing care professional):

Invest leftover funds from your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA).

Put pre-tax dollars toward hearing aids

As you may already know, FSA and HSA accounts are important yearly safety nets, often reserved to cover unplanned medical expenses. Most FSA policies come with “use-it-or-lose-it” rules that, per the IRS, require you to use your saved money by the end of the calendar year, or at least early into the following year.

But now, with just two months to go, you can feel better that those unexpected events are less likely to occur, and that you can use leftover funds on want-to-haves in addition to need-to-haves.

So, with “expiring” dollars sitting in your account, you might consider buying new glasses or looking into braces for the kids, for example—and then using your FSA and HSA money for bigger purchases, like hearing aids.

Better hearing and living are health savings well spent

If you’ve been thinking about treating your hearing loss for some time now, you owe it to yourself—and to the people you care about—to at least go and try out new hearing aids. Then, if you like them, you can use your leftover FSA or HSA funds to invest in better hearing (and ultimately, living).

Simply make an appointment with a licensed hearing care professional to get started. If you don’t have one, just type your zip code in here to view a list of providers near you who can demonstrate the latest hearing aids for you and let you test drive them, risk-free, for at least a month.*

Such a small bit of effort for a future that could include big life enhancements like clearer communication, increased human connectedness, improved health and happiness, and better overall quality of life, isn’t it?

Don’t have FSA or HSA? You do have options
