I think the OTC hearing aides must be hurting places like Beltone [View all]

I keep getting junk mail from them enclosed in very deceptive envelopes. This one was printed with 'Record Division', 'First Notice/Time Sensitive Important Document Enclosed' (all in bold/red)

Their letter starts with 'Our records indicate you have not visited our Beltone location for a hearing screening.' The topper is their coupon deal for an $800 pair of rechargeable hearing aids. I have zero doubt they would apply some high pressure to buy a more expensive pair.

I feel like mailing it back to them with the question "What's your point?' written across the letter.

These are as bad as the 'Your Car's Warranty Has Expired'. No $hit. My car is 22 years old.

I'll use this letter to help start a fire in the fireplace, this weekend.
