 ◊ Hearing loss is America’s #1 physical disability?

  ◊ More than 1/3 of the United States has a significant hearing loss by age 65, and the percentage grows dramatically with each advancing year?

 ◊ Many elderly with hearing loss have limited incomes, and receive no financial assistance to obtain a hearing aid?

 ◊ Used hearing aids donated to the SHARP program are income tax deductible?
