Gift of free hearing aid nominations due Dec. 19

This holiday season, Cape Hearing Center Drs. Justin Elder and Jean Davison are partnering with the Gift of Hearing Program and Resound, an initiative dedicated to restoring the sounds of life for those in need.

Through the program, qualified individuals will receive hearing aids at no cost, helping them reconnect with family, friends and the world around them.

Cape Hearing Center will gift two individuals with premium, rechargeable hearing aids and one year of comprehensive follow-up services. Nominations are due by Friday, Dec. 19.

The Gift of Hearing Program is designed for individuals who experience hearing loss but lack the financial means to purchase hearing aids. Applicants will undergo a professional hearing evaluation to determine eligibility. Selected recipients will receive custom-fitted hearing aids, ensuring comfort and improved quality of life. Since inception, Resound and the Gift of Hearing Program have donated 2,924 hearing aids. 

Hearing loss can lead to isolation and diminished well-being. By offering this gift, Cape Hearing Center aims to bring back the joy of conversation, laughter and connection during the holidays.

"The ability to hear is a gift that connects us to the people and moments that matter most. Through the Gift of Hearing Program, we hope to bring joy and restore those connections for individuals in our community,” said Davison.

To submit a nomination, go to capehearingcenter.com, download the Gift of Hearing form, and provide the nominee’s full name and contact information including a brief description of their hearing challenges and why they would benefit. To obtain a nomination form in person, visit Cape Hearing Center, 17005 Old Orchard Road, Lewes. Nominations cannot be self-submitted.
