Hear Indiana believes all children deserve access to high-quality hearing technology, such as traditional hearing aids, cochlear implants, bone-anchored devices, and FM/DM technology. These devices are critical for children to integrate sound in a hearing environment.

FM/DM technology helps children understand speech in classroom settings with lots of background noise and speakers up to 50 feet away. This beneficial technology is rarely covered by insurance and sometimes requires repairs or upgrades. That’s why we created the Assistive Technology Loaner Bank. Now families can try updated technology before buying, use a device while theirs is being fixed or replaced, and borrow technology while securing funding from their schools or other resources.

Giving all children the chance to hear is at the core of our mission. In 2014, Indiana approved funding for the Hearing Aid Assistance Program of Indiana (HAAPI), providing reduced-priced hearing aids for children ages 3 and up. Using a sliding-fee schedule based on income and family size, your child may qualify for a hearing aid for the fraction of the cost. Contact us today for more information.
