Places That Donate Hearing Devices in Arizona

Donating old hearing aids benefits many people, including seniors, disadvantaged children and the unemployed without health coverage. There are a variety of not-for-profit, public and private organizations within Arizona that both accept and distribute donated hearing aids.

University of Arizona

• The University of Arizona's division of Speech, Language and Hearing Services accepts donated hearing aids. It manages a program--which is called the Hearing Aid Bank--that reconditions hearing aids for sale at discounted costs.

Lions Club Associations

• Lions Clubs throughout Arizona accept and distribute hearing aids. Consulting with your local Lions Club is a way of learning about the available hearing aids in your area. Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation MD 21 in Phoenix is one of the managing partners of the program.

Private Clinics

• Private clinics often accept and distribute hearing aids at reduced costs or for free. In Arizona, the private clinic Arizona Hearing manages a program with local children's hospitals, including St. Andrews Clinic in Nogales, one of the primary beneficiaries.
