Foundation for Sight and Sound - Help America Hear Program

ABOUT

The Help America Hear Program, operated by the Foundation for Sight and Sound, offers brand-new, high-quality prescription hearing aids to individuals—adults and children—who face financial hardships and are unable to obtain them through other means. This program serves as a last resort for those who have exhausted all other financial resources, including personal savings, family support, credit, mutual funds, 401(k) plans, annuities, and state-sponsored assistance. Applicants are assessed based on annual gross household income, existing hearing aid benefits, financial assets, and the severity of hearing loss. Approved applicants receive two prescription hearing aids, custom ear molds, and one year of limited service. The program is made possible through the generosity of hearing healthcare professionals, manufacturers, corporate sponsors, and private donors.
