other assistive devices depending on their unique needs.
Among those older than 60 years, over 25% experience significant hearing loss. Adults with hearing loss typically wait an average of 7 years before seeking medical attention.
Cost Breakdown
The costs associated with cochlear implants, hearing aids, and necessary therapies often render them inaccessible to families facing economic constraints. With limited reimbursement options from private health insurance and government programs, as well as the complete absence of coverage in some health policies, DHF has seen a yearly increase in applications from those in dire need of these essential devices and services.
