08 Sep Hearing Aid Collection Centers
Are you interested in taking part in the National Hearing Aid Project? You can help by participating in a grassroots activity that will help collect hearing aids of any age or condition to be refurbished and given to qualified recipients of the project.
The Project’s mission is to provide access to hearing aids and related hearing health services to those that otherwise could not afford them. Setting up collection centers nationwide ensures that hearing aids no longer being used will not go to waste, and can continue to improve someone’s quality of life.
Establishing a collection center is simple, and we provide you with the materials to get started.
First, make a list of possible sites in your community. Locations can include, but are not limited to:
- Retirement/rest homes
- Hospice programs
- Funeral homes
- Offices of audiologists and ENTs
- Places of worship
If the site chooses to become a collection center, we ship the materials directly to them. From the site www.hearingaiddonations.org, the collection center can download a badge to add to their website.
Join our efforts in supporting the Hearing Aid Project, and contact us at info@hearingcharities.org with any questions regarding how you or your organization can start a collection center in your community.
