Imagine your world without hearing. Millions of Americans suffer from hearing loss. Most cases can be treated with easy-to-access solutions like hearing aids, but unfortunately, not every American can afford the devices and services they need to hear their worldHearAid Foundation started out with a mission to provide early access to hearing aids and devices for infants diagnosed with hearing loss. When parents of these children cannot themselves afford hearing aids, public assistance can take up to six months to provide them. Six months of hearing loss during critical developmental years can dramatically affect a child's ability to acquire speech and language skills, which can have a lifelong impact. But hearing is critical for every stage of life, and our mission quickly expanded to help people of all ages get the help they need to hear. We believe that in the technologically advanced world in which we live, no one who can be helped to hear should go without that help.
