The Federal Trade Commission sent a warning letter to two companies that sell hearing aids, charging the companies with falsely representing that they could provide government stimulus money to purchase their products.

The FTC alleged that Ear to Ear Healthcare and and Zephyr Hearing Aid Center sent out mailers entitled, "CORONA-VIRUS PANDEMIC HEARING AID STIMULUS PACKAGE ANNOUNCED FOR MISSOURI," that falsely promoted that the companies could provide COVID-19 stimulus relief for hearing aids. The FTC said that the companies' deceptive claims included:

  • "Limited Funds Available. Call Today to Secure Your Stimulus Money. For Stimulus Voucher Appointments, Call Today!"
  • "CORONA-VIRUS (sic) PANDEMIC HEARING AID STIMULUS PACKAGE ANNOUNCED FOR MISSOURI."
