ALERT: Thieves target mail, credit cards

Numerous residents in the Pascack Valley have reported unauthorizedcredit inquiries on their accounts from American Express. Some have also received American Express Marriott Bonvoy credit cards that they did not request.

If you have received one of these credit cards or are experiencing suspicious inquiries from American Express contact your local police department.

Ways to learn about credit card fraud and how to report it: americanexpress.com/us/securitycenter/reporting-fraud and consumerfinance.gov/consumertools/fraud.

You can also assess your hearing at home with a good app-based hearing test like Mimi ( mimi.health ) or SonicCloud ( soniccloud.com ).

If you find through your test that you have severe hearing loss (signs include being unable to hear spoken words even in a quiet room or trouble hearing loud music or power tools) then OTC aids arenʼt the right solution for you. Youʼll probably need a prescription hearing aid, which you must get through an audiologist or hearing instrument specialist.

Choosing an OTC Aid

If you decide that an OTC hearing aid may work for you, here are a couple pointers to help

Also, because OTC hearing aids have a learning curve, itʼs very important to know the level of customer support youʼll have access to. So, before you buy, find out how long the company provides support after your purchase, and what sorts of experts will be providing the support.

You also need to find out about the companyʼs return policy. It can take weeks to get accustomed to wearing hearing aids and figure out whether theyʼre really working for you or not. So, make sure to choose a brand that offers a minimum 30day free trial period, or money back return policy.
