According to its website, the Hearing Aid Project mission is to provide hearing aids and other assistive devices for those who require them, and economics shouldn’t be a barrier to hearing health. Driven by the missions of organizations like Sertoma and Hearing Charities of America, and through the generosity of many others, hearing aids are now available to those who might otherwise go without.
The goal of the Hearing Aid Project is to address these problems, and ensure that those who want to hear better have an equal opportunity to do so, regardless of income.
- Get – refer low income individuals in your area who are in need of hearing aids to the project;
- Give – donate hearing aids or establish hearing aid collection centers in your community;
- Help – carry out an online personal fundraiser, make a cash donation, recruit other audiologists to participate, and/or host a CELEBRATE SOUND event to benefit the project.
The Hearing Aid Project Manager, Meredith See, oversees the program, working with participating audiologists as well as the applicants. Any hearing care professionals interested in participating, supporting or learning more about this program can visit the Hearing Aid Project website for more information.
Learn how the Hearing Aid Project has been a life-changer for two people with hearing loss who, without the aids and support provided by the project, would not have otherwise been able to get the hearing care they needed.

Good Morning:
My mother is 86 years old, and on a very limited monthly income. We were told by medical professionals that she has some loss of hearing, and her insurance would not cover the cost. We live in Georgia and are seeking assistance for her.
Any information you could provide to us would be greatly appreciated.

I recently found my long lost aunt. And she is in need of a hearing aid. Is it possible for her to get help. She lives in Alabama
My fiance has been having to deal with a serious hearing loss for so many years. She misses so many things in life that we take for granted because we are able to hear. Due to the high cost of hearing aides and our income leaves us with no extra money. She goes day to day with the frustration of not being able to have a simple conversation without having to ask what did he or she say. So I am asking if there is anyway that this woman that I love so much to be able to enjoy life with the gift of being able to hear. Please help her. Thanks, sincerely John Kiang.
