Federal tax excessive on hearing aids

I agree with the article (“Treating hearing loss should not be pricey”) published in the Mirror on June 3.

I purchased my second pair of hearing aids in May 2016 in Altoona.

The price was $5,000 and on top of that was $600 tax for a grand total of $5,600.

Perhaps that prestigious advisory group should remove the federal tax on hearing aids. Would that be asking too much?
