NOT ANY MORE... My name is Robert Harris, President of Harris Hearing Centers, and we are the premier nationally . distributed manufacturer of hearing instruments in the state of Utah. We sell wholesale all over the country, to hearing professionals who retail our products to their patients. But now- through this special program-you can buy our hearing aids direct from Harris Hearing Centers, without a middleman mark-up... AND SAVE UP TO 50 I'll explain the special program, but rest assured, these are first-quality hearing instruments, not seconds in any way. I'm talking top of the line, fully digital and programmable, state-of-the-art. This kind of savings, it could run into thousands of dollars, would be reason enough to choose Harris Hearing Centers, but there is more...much more. You see, at Harris, we are the only ones who eliminate elimi-nate virtually all the other reasons people postpone a hearing aid purchase. Let me explain... 1. IF YOU'RE NOT SURE YOU REALLY NEED A HEARING AID.J understand. Why get one if you don't need it? That's why I'm offering a FREE video ear scan and a FREE electronic hearing test. If your hearing loss isn't severe enough to warrant an assist, we'll tell you, straight up, and make rec- ommendations on what you can do to protect and preserve your hearing. v 2. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR HEARING LOSS IST00 SMALL TO BE HELPED BY A HEARING INSTRUMENT..J0U may be right. But you may be surprised to find that the right hearing aid can solve your specific hearing deficiency deficien-cy and bring remarkable new clarity back to your hearing. And the FREE video scan and hearing . test are just the ticket to find out. ' 3. IF YOU THINK THE PROCESS TAKES TOO LONG... you're right if you buy from anyone else. But because our manufacturing facilities are instate in-state and connected directly with our centers, you'll get your new hearing instruments in days, not weeks. 4. IF YOU'VE HEARD HORROR STORIES ABOUT FIT AND COMFORT PROBLEMS... I won't deny these problems do occur, and hearing instruments are too much of an investment to find them un-wearable after the normal 60-day warranty war-ranty has expired. That's why we offer you the industry's most aggressive guarantee. If you have any problems with the fit, the comfort, the technology, technol-ogy, or the sound quality of our instruments, anytime any-time within six months of your purchase, we will refit you, change out the instrument, switch brands or otherwise do whatever it takes to make sure you are thrilled with your instruments and your hearing, hear-ing, and we will do it all at our expense, not yours. And if we still cannot make you happy, we will ' refund your money. 5. BUT THEY JUST MAKE ME LOOK LIKE AND "OLD GEEZER"... If this is what's really keeping you from getting the hearing help you need, consider 2 things. First, our state-of-the-art, miniature technology allows us to make hearing instruments that are truly ''out of sight," Second, whatmakes you look more like an old geezer: having a discreet instrument in your ear but being able to fully participate in the life going-on going-on around you...or not being able to hear and constantly con-stantly having to bug friends, relatives and strangers strang-ers to repeat themselves so you can "get it?" With these thoughts in mind, here is how you can get 2 hearing aids for the price of 1 (or one hearing aid for 49 off)... Set an appointment to come into my office at 330 West Center in Provo during mv special open house, from April 10th to April 21st and I will give you the FREE video and Hearing Exam. Just call 373-6827 to set up your appointment. When you come in, I'll give you a special report from a national consumer organization that compares hearing aids. You'll see that our ActiveEar brand scores very well among the top instruments out there. Naturally, once your exam is complete we will recommend a course of action. If you don't need hearing help, or if our instruments are not right for you, we'll let you know. (After all, with the extraordinary guarantee and the exceptional pricing I'm offering, I can't afford to sell you something some-thing that won't fill your needs, or that you'll come back for a refund on six months down the line.) If we do believe we can help, we'll tell you that too, along with a price quote that could be up to 50 less than any local competitor on comparable equipment, and a delivery time line that can bring your hearing back to normal weeks faster than the competition. With over 45 years of experience under my belt and having served many thousands of patients, nothing gives me greater satisfaction than re-storing great hearing and the quality of life that comes with it. I look forward to doing that foryou. Come in and find out why we were voted the Best Hearing Aid Center in Utah Valley. Sincerely, (obert Harris, , BC-HISACA Harris Hearing Centers PS.
