Family member with new hearing loss issue.

Posted by pml @pml, Apr 20 7:59pm

My family member has just developed hearing loss. The doctor said she would need hearing aids. However, she has very little money and can't afford hearing aids. Does anyone know of any federal programs or any church programs that would help her pay for hearing aids? Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you so much!

@pml JudysMayo used the initials HCOA - they are actually the subsidiary of Sertoma that handles providing refurbished hearing aids. So either name might pop up.

Thanks Judy!

I had OTC hearing aids for the past 3 years. Although the company I retired from insured them in late 2023, they dropped that benefit since. Now my hearing loss has grown, to moderate-severe, and I need "real" hearing aids. To exacerbate the problem, I have just lost one at age 87. Financing them is a huge problem. I live in Illinois. Does anyone have a suggestion?
