This hearing aid ad is, at best, misleading and disingenuous, IMHO, a clever way to scam seniors out of their healthcare dollars. I called and verified.
Thanks for this alert, Egberto. These scams are worthy of attention. However, hearing-aid scams are likely a drop in the bucket compared with health insurance scams like Medicare (dis)Advantage. Further, you mention "Organizations like AARP ... often provide resources and workshops on avoiding scams." I think this statement is unintentionally misleading: AARP is a leading shill for the biggest, baddest healthcare insurance scammer -- United Healthcare.

It is sad. But sometimes it is clear the government is complicit by turning a blind eye.
