MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The mission of HEAR Nashville is to provide financial and professional assistance for low-income adults and seniors who need hearing aids and to provide community education about hearing loss and its effects on the quality of life for those suffering from it.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

Our goal to to be sure that every low-income adult in Middle Tennessee has the opportunity to get hearing aids and improve their overall health.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

HEAR Nashville Hearing loss is the second most frequent health-related condition in our aging population. If untreated, research shows it to affect virtually every aspect of a person's life, e.g., social and familial relationships, education and job opportunities, medical and health conditions, psychological and emotional health, and spiritual and religious issues. Medicare and over 90% of third party health insurance plans don't pay for hearing aids. Considering the average cost of good quality hearing aids may be at least $3,000 to $5,000+, low income adults and seniors are especially vulnerable because of inability to pay for them. HEAR Nashville is the only program of its type currently in this region, and probably in the USA that provides a solution for this target population to receive this assistance. Our board of directors is a working board with each member contributing to the operation of HEAR Nashville. All grants and donations go directly toward the cost of hearing aids.
