Changing lives through the gift of hearing

HearAid Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing the gift of hearing to those in our communities who cannot afford the high cost of hearing aids.

Our receipients

HearAid Foundation serves infants, children, and adults who are in need of immediate hearing intervention. Every recipient is seen by a doctor who can offer them a high standard of care. This ensures that each patient gets the appropriate hearing device and solutions from the start.

Our process

Quality and immediacy are top priority for HearAid Foundation. We partner with hearing professionals and accept referrals from doctors, schools, social workers, hospitals, assisted living centers, and even individuals to identify underfunded people with hearing loss who need hearing aids or services. The potential beneficiary (or their parent/legal guardian), often with the help of a hearing professional, fills out a straightforward application for assistance and submits it to us. Qualified recipients can receive assistance immediately or within days of application approval. No delay. No red tape.

Hearing loss affects more than you may think

People of all ages, demographics, and socioeconomic statuses are impacted by hearing loss. In addition to making it more difficult to communicate, hearing loss comes with tangible economic consequences, such as less earning power and more expenses for those with hearing loss and their families.

Quick facts about the importance of hearing

infants

The first three years of life are essential for language development and learning. When an infant receives a hearing loss intervention earlier, they have a higher chance of developing better language skills than those who do not receive help.

children

The average lifetime educational cost of hearing loss is $115,600 per child. The earlier the hearing intervention, the less these costs are likely to be.

Adults

Adults with hearing loss often experience functional difficulties, such as a decline in communication, civic participation, and employment. By getting the gift of hearing, these adults can more easily participate in everyday life.
