Donate a Hearing Aid We accept donations of good quality and good condition behind-the-ear hearing aids from Widex, Resound, Starkey, Phonak, Oticon and Unitron, which can be refurbished for reuse. Those interested in donating used hearing aids of any age, make or model can do so by visiting the Hearing Charities of America donation page. There, you can contact you with questions or complete the online donation form to begin the donation process. Low-cost hearing aids can be purchased at the Lion's Ear.
