Thats true when you just hand out money to anyone who sticks their hand out. The club I'm in now we usually get a referral from a doctor or other sources requesting our help getting a child into hearing aids.They usually provide background info or sometime we may request additional information. Most are people who fall through the cracks were the parents make just enough to not get goverment assisstance or they get some assisstance but not enough. Yes, sometimes we know the parents are useless but its not the childs fault and if mom and dad are unwilling we step in and provide hearing aids we will. These thing are not cheap and cost around $4,600 and in cases of dead beat parents we buy the hearing aids and give them to the child.
