Hearing Aid Assistance Tax Credit Builds Support HIA recently awarded Rep Jim Ryun (R, Kan) as Representative of the Year for introducing the legislation in the House during late-January. HR 414, and its companion bill S 1060, are the first pieces of hearing-related legislation in decades that have the full support of virtually every organization in the hearing field, says HIA Executive Director Carole M. Rogin. HIA is pleased to honor Congressman Ryun as Representative of the Year, to acknowledge and to thank him for dedicating his time, resources, and knowledge to hearing health issues. The hearing health care community is grateful for his ongoing leadership and support. If enacted, the Act will help millions of Americans enjoy something most of us just take for granted, said Sen Norm Coleman (R, Minn), who introduced S 1060 in the Senate during Hearing on the Hill which was held May 17-18 in Washington, DC. The event was sponsored by HIA, and supported by the Friends of Hearing Health, a large coalition of providers, consumers, and other national organizations interested in hearing care issues, including the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), American Speech Language Hearing Assn (ASHA), International Hearing Society (IHS), the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Alliance (DHHA), and Self Help for Hard of Hearing People (SHHH).
