Need Hearing Aids?
If you or a loved one are experiencing hearing loss and are in need of hearing aids but just can’t afford them, the following organization may help you find a resource or program that will assist your needs.
 According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 36 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss, making it a public health issue third in line after heart disease and arthritis.
The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) is the nation’s leading organization providing assistance and resources for people with hearing loss. HLAA also helps individuals and their families learn how to adjust to living with hearing loss. This organization knows that it can often become difficult for people with limited financial means to purchase hearing aids and because of this; they offer many different resources to assist in this area.
If you have checked with your health insurance provider and found that you do not qualify to receive financial assistance for your hearing aids, check out the resources located on the HLAA website to see if you may be eligible for other programs. The HLAA site gives helpful information regarding financial assistance and also gives a list of national or regional resources for assistance.
For more information about the services and programs that are available through the Hearing Loss Association of America, please call 301.657.2248.
