Better Vision. Better Hearing. Better Georgia.

Hearing Aids

The Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation provides hearing aid assistance for low-income Georgia residents. The Lighthouse's hearing services include a digital hearing aid and four follow-up visits. The Lighthouse doe

s not cover the initial exam by an audiologist or hearing aid dispenser. If you would like to have a hearing test performed, please contact one of our partner audiologists or hearing aid dispensers. A list of hearing providers by city can be found here.

On November 1, 2007, the Lighthouse launched a new digital hearing aid program. Eligible clients are assisted with an affordable package that includes:

a digital hearing aid from Unitron with a 3-year warranty. An analog hearing aid is also available for those who do not respond well to the digital aid.
an earmold, and
3 appointments to a Lighthouse hearing provider's office.

The cost of the hearing aid package is based on a sliding scale policy. The client's household income and type of hearing aid needed will determine the cost of the package, which ranges from $60 to $205 for each aid.

"Not being able to hear is lonely. Before I got my hearing aids, I couldn't understand what was really being said. I was misinterpreting conversations, which is costly when you are working on projects that require precise measurements. The Lighthouse was a godsend. You can't imagine how it changes your life, to be able to hear and understand things again; it makes life so much easier"
- Jim, hearing aid recipient
