The Hearing Care Centre’s hearing aid recycling scheme allows our friends at Lions International to provide hearing aids for thousands of hard-of-hearing individuals who have limited financial resources across the World.

The World Health Organisation estimates that 278 million people worldwide have moderate to profound hearing loss in both ears.  Yet, current annual production of hearing aids is estimated to meet less than 10% of global need. The poor are especially affected because they are unable to afford the preventative care necessary to avoid hearing loss, or hearing aids to improve their hearing.

The Hearing Care Centre collect hearing aids on behalf of the Lions, and then they are sent on to Regional Lions Hearing Aid Recycling Centres.
