Are there financial assistance programs for families to help with purchasing home hearing assistive technology (HAT)?

Logo of Frequently Asked Questions with thought bubbles with text "FAQs" in the middle

There are several options of grants and funding sources that may be able to help families who do not have the financial means to purchase home hearing aids or have insurance that covers it.

Special Note: Districts are responsible for providing amplification, personal or school HAT, when the student is at school and the IEP team determines it is assistive technology and the student requires it for free and appropriate public education (FAPE). See your district’s ESE Policies and Procedures (ESE P&Ps) for more details.
