Today is WORLD HEARING DAY!
The theme for World Hearing Day is “Ear and Hearing Care for All”!
Hearing health care for the microtia and aural atresia community is very important!
In honor of World Hearing Day and everyday – Ear Community helps give back to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community in many ways! Recently, Ear Community launched Pax’s Ear Fund – which is a hearing health reimbursement program offered that allows audiologists to be reimbursed for fitting/programming services when patients are denied coverage for this service by their insurance provider or leaving them unable to pay the fee or high deductible at the time of the fitting/programming. This reimbursement program covers patients born with microtia and/or aural atresia who wear Bone Anchored Hearing Devices/Bone Conduction Hearing Implant Systems.
It is Ear Community’s mission to help as many children and adults to hear their best as much as possible. Pax’s Ear Fund is made possible by a sweet little boy named Pax who was born with microtia and atresia. Pax and his family know how important it is to help provide the gift of hearing to those in need. Ear Community is grateful for Pax’s Ear Fund! A special thank you to the William, Jeff and Jennifer Gross Family Foundation and the Blue Chip Foundation!👂❤️
