Where To Send Used Hearing Aids

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D.

From time to time people ask me where they can send their old hearing aids so that needy hard of hearing people can benefit from them.

There are a number of organizations that collect and refurbish used hearing aids and then distribute them to needy hard of hearing people. Below are three of them.

Send your old hearing aids to the organization of your choice and they will use them to provide hearing aids for people that could not otherwise afford them.

1. Hear Now (The Starkey Hearing Foundation)
To learn more about the mission of Hear Now and how they help thousands of hard of hearing people around the world, point your browser to: http://www.sotheworldmayhear.org/forms/hearnow.php

Send used hearing aids to them at:

"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life [which also includes perfect hearing] through Jesus Christ our Lord." [Romans 6:23]

"But know this, in the last days perilous times will come" [2 Timothy 3:1]. "For there will be famines, pestilences, and [severe] earthquakes in various places" [Matthew 24:7], "distress of nations, the sea and the waves roaring"—tsunamis, hurricanes—Luke 21:25, but this is good news if you have put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, for "when these things begin to happen, lift up your heads [and rejoice] because your redemption draws near" [Luke 21:28].
