How does Hearing Aid Recycling work?
In the UK, one in six people is affected by hearing loss. Deafness is the country’s second-largest disability. The World Health Organization estimates that by 2050 over 900 million people globally will experience disabling hearing loss.
Our spectacle recycling service is perhaps better known, but hearing aids can also be recycled in a similar way. Unwanted, or broken, analogue and digital hearing aids and audiological equipment are all of use. Just follow the process as for recycling spectacles.
Thank you for your donations. A story from Sri Lanka let me know of a local Tuk Tuk taxi driver who had given up his work owing to difficulties hearing instructions from his passengers. Thanks to a donated hearing aid, he is now back at work and able to support his wife and children. Without Lions help, the family’s future would have been very bleak.
