Payne's Miracle-Ear Center is participating in "Enhancing Lives through the Gift of Sound." It is accepting donations of used hearing aids through April 30. Hearing aids may be dropped of at 4585 N. Highway 7, Suite 12, Hot Springs Village or at Miracle-Ear at Sears in Hot Springs Mall. For example, someone's passed away and the family doesn't know what to do with their loved ones hearing aids -- donate them!
Tammy and Eric Payne are the new owners/operators of the local Miracle-Ear Hearing Center. They are sponsors of the Miracle-Ear Foundation. Since 1990, the Miracle-Ear Foundation, together with donors, has provided hearing aids, follow-up care and educational resources to people with hearing loss who demonstrate personal inability to financially provide for their hearing health needs. The Paynes do this because they "believe everyone in our community deserves quality hearing instruments."
Miracle-Ear is America's No. 1 most recognized hearing aid brand. It's in communities throughout the United States, helping people with hearing loss every day. The foundation is one more way its members are working to improve hearing health nationwide. The public can help.
Today, more than 7 million Americans who need hearing aids cannot afford them. "At Miracle-Ear, we want to do everything we can to help. Our goal is to double the number of hearing aids we donate to children in communities across the United States," according to the press release.
The first few years of a child's life are the most important in his or her development, according to experts. That's why hearing loss in young children can have such far-reaching effects. Undetected hearing loss can delay speech and language, affecting social and emotional growth as well as academic achievement. Hearing loss has a profound effect on each child's family and society as a whole.
The Miracle-Ear Foundation is working to ensure that kids who need hearing aids receive them.
