Doctor examined the patient's ear with Otoscope. Patient seem to have problems with hearing.
As a doctor of audiology, I am often asked if there are assistance programs that would consider helping with the cost of hearing devices. I route my patients toward some of the local entities, state agencies and other charitable organizations I’ve come in contact with over the years. Several resources and avenues for applying for financial assistance for much-needed hearing and communication aids, for those special cases in which it is not-easily-afforded are as follows:
- Hearing Aid Project
- Celebrate Sound
- SAFEEars!
- The Sound Investment
- Scholarships
TWC's vocational rehabilitation program offers help to adults who are employed, youth or others who are enrolled in school and educational courses.
