We encourage you to avoid throwing out your old hearing aids once you no longer have any use for them. Instead, one of the best things you can do with used hearing aids is to donate them to a worthy cause. Donated hearing aids are collected by organizations like the Lions Club International and the Starkey Hearing Foundation. Once collected, the hearing aids are refurbished and then given to people suffering from hearing loss who otherwise could not get a pair of hearing aids on their own. In addition to helping the less fortunate, you could also qualify for a tax write off by donating your hearing aids.
