Don't Throw Them Away!

People who are deaf and hard of hearing must often pay out-of-pocket for aids and equipment that are not generally covered by insurance. This can create financial difficulties for people who need such aids to help them.

A family member who used a hearing aid passed away? Got a new cochlear implant? Just upgraded to digital from analog? Bought a hearing aid awhile ago but it did not work as well as you wanted and you're stuck with it? Don't throw out that old or unwanted hearing aid - it may still have some life in it yet, and be of use to someone who can't afford a hearing aid!  Your old hearing aid could make the difference in someone's life. For an adult in need, a used hearing aid can mean the ability to get or hold a job; for a child, it can mean being able to learn better due to having access to sound at last.

Research shows that hearing loss can affect relationships, school performance, job productivity, and emotional well being. For the estimated 28 million children and adults in the United States who have a hearing loss, accessing hearing aids can be a critical factor to enjoying life to it's fullest.
