    Help for Friend
    I have a close friend who has been Hearing Impaired since birth. She has had only 1 hearing aid in all this time (57 yrs) Due to financial situation she cannot get a hearing aid. Is there any place she can go for help?

    There may be financial help available from local social agencies but I don't know where she lives so it's a little difficult to say? If it were in my commnity, I would suggest calling 2-1-1. It's a referral agency of every helping agency available, including ones that offer financial help to the needy. Here is their website: www.211.org. Otherwise, I would try an actual hearing aid business and ask them if they know of any financial aid possible. It is nice of you to help your friend. Thanks for posting and good luck.

    You might also try Catholic Social Services and Lutheran Social Services. They're all over the country; check your phone book... or Google them with quotes and include your city.

    Both have a variety of programs that supply money and goods to those who need them.
