Hearing Aid Help for Low Income Individuals

The private, non-profit organization HEAR Now provides hearing aids for children and adults in low income circumstances. A network of volunteer hearing professionals distribute the hearing aids all across the country. Recipients must meet the HEAR Now eligibility requirements, which are explained at the group’s website.

One more thing: If you have old hearing aids that aren’t being used, you can donate them to HEAR Now for recycling. Donations are tax deductible. The used hearing aids are returned to manufacturers for refurbishing and are then sold by the manufacturers as refurbished aids. The proceeds from these sales are donated back to the HEAR Now program. (NOTE: People who qualify to receive hearing aids receive new aids, not the refurbished ones.)
