Donor Hearing Aid Program

The Donor Hearing Aid Program helps those who can't afford the full cost of a hearing aid, like Megan...

“Everything just got better when Megan got her hearing aids. When she first had the aids put on, her face just lit up. Now she can hear the birds sing.” - Sherrill, Megan's mom. Read more about Megan.

The program provides hearing aids at a minimal cost, as well as testing, evaluation and follow-up, to hearing impaired clients who cannot afford the full cost of these services.
