Patient Care Program: Hearing
Hearing restoration and independence
Often, deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals cannot afford the special equipment or medical procedures they dearly need. In communities throughout Washington and Northern Idaho, the Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight & Hearing comes to the rescue by matching funds raised by local Lions Clubs for hearing- and sight-related costs.
Last year, more than $100,000 of charitable support from the Patient Care Program went to cover everything from a hearing dog to AUDIENT™ hearing aids to an ear prosthesis. In every case, this charitable support furthered the health and independence of an individual with hearing or sight loss.
