The Campbell McLaurin Foundation for Hearing Deficiencies
Helping low-income individuals in Southern Alberta with the cost of assistive hearing devices
At The Campbell McLaurin Foundation for Hearing Deficencies, it’s our goal to financially assist as many deaf or hard of hearing affected Southern Albertans as possible. One of the best ways we’ve found to do that is to partner with local hearing clinics to extend our services to their clients.
Service Providers help us get much needed funding into the hands that need it.
Today, more than 350,000 Albertans are living with hearing loss. That’s a big number, and more than twice the number of Albertans who suffer from eyesight problems. The truth of the matter is, that number could be a lot higher, since those suffering from hearing loss often under-report their condition.
Of those more than 350,000 Albertans suffering from hearing loss, only one in six wears a hearing aid. Or put another way, more than 83% of Albertans living with hearing loss have difficulty following a normal conversation because they do not use hearing aids.
Many who get diagnosed as hard of hearing are not aware of our services and are often taken aback at the high cost of hearing aids.
By becoming a Campbell McLaurin Service Provider, you can be instrumental in connecting those in need with much needed funding. We’ll work with you and the client to provide funding for hearing device recommendations with a maximum total cost for two aids of $4,300.
Let’s work together to provide deaf and hard of hearing Southern Albertans the tools they need to live their lives. Together we can help these individuals receive the hearing devices they need by eliminating some of the financial burdens.
