About the Hearing Aid Project
The Hearing Aid Project (HAP) is a unique model and one-of-a-kind collaboration created by Sertoma International. It addresses the increased demand for hearing aids by providing hearing aids to low-income individuals on a national scale.
The project brings organizations together so that each fulfills a specific role in providing hearing aids to the individuals that need them. HAP has partnered with the Department of Hearing & Speech at the University of Kansas Medical Center to maintain and track all of the hearing aids in the program.
The primary services involved in this project are:
- Accepting and reviewing applications
- Refurbishing hearing aids
- Performing hearing health evaluations
- Soliciting support and services from others who can help support the project
