Hearing Aid Assistance for All Ages

Hearing loss creates profound isolation for many who experience it. We all probably know someone who deals with a hearing challenge and might also know someone who may need to get hearing aids to participate more fully in life.

You have an incredible privilege of shaping futures—for families, your community, and its members.  The future for some of those with whom you interact with may be dimmed because of hearing loss.  The Starkey Hearing Foundation may be able to help you brighten many futures by providing hearing aids to those who struggle to acquire hearing aids without assistance.

There is an application processing fee of $125 per hearing aid requested.  When an application is approved, aids are given to the applicant at no additional cost.
Hear Now is the US program of the Starkey Hearing Foundation.  As such, Hear Now serves low-income individuals, of any age, who permanently reside in the US that have no other resources to acquire hearing aids.  Anyone having a benefit for hearing aids, in part or total, are encouraged to call to discuss their individual situation.
The hearing aids provided are Behind the Ear models and are new.  Custom hearing aids are not provided by Hear Now.
