GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Newport Audiology Centers, one of the nation's leading providers of audiological hearing-aid services with over 2,000 full-service centers, has become the newest member of AAA's Show Your Card & Save(R) program. Through the program AAA members receive a 40 percent discount off Newport Audiology's already low hearing aid prices, and a Price Match Guarantee.
Hearing loss is especially dangerous when driving, as drivers can lose the ability to hear high-pitched tones, such as sirens, and sounds among background noise, such as horns and railroad warnings. Hearing loss affects tens of millions across the country, including an estimated 30% of all Americans over the age of 65. If hearing loss is ignored or untreated, it can get worse. However, hearing loss that is identified early can be helped through treatment, such as hearing aids, certain medicines, and surgery.
As the latest Show Your Card & Save(R) partner, Newport Audiology expands the health and wellness discounts available to AAA members including savings on prescription drugs, vision care and more. AAA's Show Your Card & Save program is the largest member discount program in the world with more than 164,000 locations for savings worldwide.
The Price Match Guarantee, exclusive to AAA members, means that Newport Audiology Centers will match the price of any identical hearing aid product quoted or published elsewhere. Newport Audiology also provides AAA members with complimentary audiological (hearing) evaluations, a two-year supply of batteries (with purchase), free follow-up visits and a 100% service satisfaction guarantee within the first 60 days. Plus, members get expert assistance, superior service and the latest technology including the newest Bluetooth products.
To receive their savings benefits, a special toll-free phone number, 1-800-AAA-HEAR (1-800-222-4327), has been set up for members to schedule appointments.
David Gligor, COO at Newport Audiology Centers, says, "Our affiliation with AAA's valuable Health and Wellness Program is a natural extension to our goal of promoting the best in quality of life. We're excited to be able to improve AAA members' lives at home, and on the road."
