Reduce hearing-product sales brochures

To cut hearing-product brochures, ask the sender to stop printed commercial marketing and name the brochure you received. If you rely on that business for appointments or support, say those communications should continue.

Name the brochure, protect the support

  1. Identify the sender from the brochure: the business name, the return address, and the name and address printed on it.
  2. Check whether you have an active appointment, repair or supply order with that business, and list those items.
  3. Find the sender's official contact route yourself and ask how to end mailed sales brochures.
  4. Write the request in two parts: stop commercial brochures, and keep the appointment and service contact you listed.

Share only what the request needs

Ending sales brochures is a marketing preference. The request does not need a diagnosis, device model or health details beyond what you choose to share.

If you are unsure whether a letter is a care notice, keep it out of the opt-out and ask the provider which it is. Limit the request to the brochure you identified.

Sample brochure request

Example for your own use. Replace the bracketed details and review what you share.

Please stop mailing sales brochures and promotions from [business name] to [name as printed] at [mailing address]. The brochure I received is titled [title] and dated [date]. Please keep sending communications about my [appointment, service or supply item] through the existing contact arrangements. This request covers commercial marketing only.

Decide what stays

Before sending, write down the one or two items you want to keep, such as supply reminders or a follow-up visit, and name them in the request. When another brochure arrives, compare its sender with your request and send a follow-up about that specific piece.
