Hearing Services of Santa Barbara is proud to announce a partnership with the Lions Club Sight and Hearing Foundation to help recycle hearing aids, which helps make essential hearing technology available to hard-of-hearing individuals from low-income families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 278 million people worldwide have moderate to profound hearing loss in both ears, according to the World Health Organization. Regardless, current annual production of hearing aids is estimated to meet less than 10% of global need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s where recycling your old hearing aids comes into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
