One of the great new resources is the Internet; what a great way for people to connect.

This page contains categorized links to some of the Internet resources we think may be helpful to people with hearing loss. Please click on the appropriate category below.

Another source of assistance for hearing aid purchase is Listen Up.

You should also check your local service clubs - Sertoma, Lions, Elks, etc.

For those of modest means, Audient Alliance may be the answer!

If you're working, check with your local Vocational Rehabilitation office.

Also see The Starkey Hearing Foundation

Finally, if your insurance claim has been denied, check with Let Them Hear to see if they can help you.

Listen Up has been around forever and does a great job of working with families that include kids with hearing loss.

Another longstanding resource for families that include kids with hearing loss is Parents Place. They also host a very informative weekly chat.
