where can I get assistance getting hearing aids?
I’m currently attending school full-time and working a full-time job at Walt Disney World for 7 dollars an hour. Between the tuition for school, and my other bills, and rent, I am having trouble saving enough money for new hearing aids I’m starting to need.
Since hearing aids are not covered by insurance and the prices of them are sky-high, I’m afraid I will not have enough money saved to buy new hearing aids by the time I need them.
I hate to ask for charity but I’m starting to be backed into a corner. Any suggestion about what I could do?
Check with the Hearing Loss Association of America (www.hearingloss.org), which also has a state organization in Florida with local chapters. That’s one place to look.
Assuming you’re in Florida (home of WDW), check with these organizations:
