Hearing loss is a most serious impairment and is a concern of the Wisconsin Lions. The Lions have established a partnership between hearing professionals and hearing aid manufactures to help those with hearing problems. Used hearing aids are collected and used as credit for the purchase of new aids. The new aids are then distributed to those in need. This distribution is accomplished with the help of hearing professionals. Recipients of these aids must qualify financially. The Wisconsin Lions Foundation purchased 135 hearing aids for individuals in the 2005-2006 fiscal year and recycled 4260. Each year this number increases.   With help from more then 100 generous hearing professionals throughout Wisconsin, the Hearing Program can provide assistance throughout the entire state for individuals who are in need of a hearing aid(s).
