THE NEED IS REAL
THE SOLUTION IS HERE
ONLY AROUND 30% OF HEARING-IMPAIRED ADULTS IN THE UNITED STATES ACTUALLY HAVE HEARING AIDS. THE REST ARE DETERRED IN LARGE PART BY THE HEFTY PRICE TAG: IT'S COMMON FOR ONE HEARING AID TO COST SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE GEORGIA HEARING AID DISPATCH, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GEORGIA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, REMOVES THE FINANCIAL BARRIER TO CARE FOR LOW-INCOME GEORGIA RESIDENTS AND PROVIDES HEARING AIDS AT DRAMATICALLY REDUCED COSTS.
ATTENTION
THE GEORGIA CHARITABLE CARE NETWORK IS A 501(C)(3) NON-PROFIT, NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES HEARING SERVICES WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT TO UNINSURED, LOW-INCOME PEOPLE IN GEORGIA.
