HEARS is a 30+ year old all-volunteer non-profit that provides new hearing aids to low income residents of El Paso County, Colorado. Founded in 1988 by local Sertoma Clubs and now organized as a stand-alone nonprofit, HEARS provides hearing aids with professional audiological services to those who cannot afford them. We provide a 100% subsidy of the cost for those at/below 125% of Federal poverty income. Two thirds of HEARS clients pay only $20 registration fee for new digital hearing aids. We assist 65-75 clients per year, with over 2,200 lower income El Paso residents getting the "gift of hearing" since our founding.
