Our success stories

Meet Tate, a 35 year old mom living with a genetic hearing loss from birth. At age six, Tate was given one hearing aid by an organization giving children in need hearing aids in Armenia. But with her bilateral moderate to profound hearing loss, one hearing aid was not optimal for her hearing needs. What’s more, Tate’s one-year-old son was also born with the same genetic hearing loss and fortunately, was able to obtain hearing aids through HCCAP. However, Tate did not qualify herself.

Fortunately, HearAid Foundation was able to provide her with two new Oticon hearing aids. She was very excited to wear two hearing aids and even reported hearing sounds differently with the pair. It will take time for Tate to adjust to wearing two hearing aids as the brain needs practice but we are hopeful that her quality of life will improve!

Addison is one of HearAid Foundation's recent recipients!7 year old, Addison was living with moderate hearing loss that impacted her speech and language development. After the frustration of being rejected from several other programs that helped children with hearing loss get hearing aids, Addison's mother applied to HearAid Foundation.

With little options and the lack of insurance coverage, they could not afford the out-of-pocket expense of hearing aids that will be an ongoing need throughout Addison's life. Addison and her mother are not alone. There are so many children, adults and families that are living with hearing loss that don't have access to hearing aids.
