Each hearing aid is professionally cleaned, repaired, calibrated, and customized to meet the specific hearing needs of the recipient. 

Once prepared, the devices are fitted and provided to eligible individuals at little to no cost. To qualify for this program, individuals must have an income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level. To apply for assistance, please visit here.
