Hearing Aid Loaner Bank
The Lions of Indiana operate a Hearing Aid Loaner Bank under the control of the Indiana Lions Speech and Hearing, Inc. and managed by Kira VonBlon, an Audiologist, at the Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.
This Hearing Aid Loaner Bank is open to all the citizens of Indiana and is designed to be a short-term assistance program for those individuals requiring amplification. The hearing aids are normally loaned for a period of up to 6 months while the financial resources are found to obtain a custom fitted permanent hearing aid.
Since 1981 there have been over 2900 hearing aids loaned by the Indiana Lions Speech and Hearing project.
