Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 > Does anyone know where to donate used hearing aids? We've always trusted our son's audiologist to find a new home for them. Ask if there is a local Hearing Aid Bank, or other organization that can find a new home for them. You can also donate them to any of the civic organizations listed on this page: http://www.listen-up.org/haidfund.htm#oth Hugs, Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 I see Kay already beat me to the answer on this one. We just donated my daughters to the Lion's club. Barb used hearing aids Does anyone know where to donate used hearing aids? We are in a very fortunate position of having upgraded to digital Oticon digifocus and have a pair of Oticon Multifocus sitting at home in a drawer. There must be some child somewhere who can benefit from them? Can someone help me find him or her?

There are always children there whose families cannot afford Multifocus technology for their children but could benefit from it. e has a loaner bank, but these aids would not sit in a drawer. If you are interested, call the school at and ask for Audiology or Lepine. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 Hi, Your county health department is usually aware of children who need such help. This might be a place to ask if they take donations of used hearing aids. In our county the Children's Special Health Care Services is run through the local health department. Also, if you have an Intermediate School District, they might find someone who needs them. Our audiologist, works with the local health districts and will take used hearing aids, recondition them, and give them to someone less fortunate. If you don't need them for backup incase repairs are needed on the present hearing aids, this is a generous gesture. used hearing aids > Does anyone know where to donate used hearing aids?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 I agree! I wish I had a back up pair! My son lost his and we had nothing for three weeks! But it is very generous!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 I would advise that. We donated our first pair when my daughter got her third, still keeping the second as backups.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Hello, Try contacting your health dept. or birth - three program if you have one. They may be able to give away your hearing aids or lend them out as loaners. Hope this helps. Rita used hearing aids > Does anyone know where to donate used hearing aids?

But, even if I didn't, I would probably get digital loaners so that would have consisent amplification. Using his Multifocus (analog) aids would sound very different to him.
