The Tri-Valley Lions Club along with Beltone Hearing Aid Center of Hegins have recently provided recycled hearing aids to Jeanette Smith and Debra Huss from Valley View.
Recycled hearing aids that have been tested and refurbished by Beltone are being provided to residents of the Tri-Valley School District. Applicants must have a hearing aid need as evaluated by Beltone and meet the financial criteria of the program to qualify.
The program consists of three visits by Beltone. The first visit provides a hearing evaluation. The second visit is the fitting of the recycled hearing aid, and the third appointment is a follow up appointment to assure everything is okay. All services are provided free of charge.
The Tri-Valley Lions Club qualifies the recipients for the program, and Beltone does the refurbishing of the hearing aids and provides any new accessories needed for the hearing aids.
Sarah Lucht-Bennett, Hearing Care Practioner, FO3083, 3rd generation owner with Beltone for 27 years alongside siblings Jesse Lucht and Daniel Lucht and parents Ralph K Lucht and Sandra Lucht have 9 locations in North East Pa.
Applications for the hearing aid program can be requested by sending an email to trivalleylions@yahoo.com, writing to the Tri-Valley Lions at 535 East Main Street Hegins, PA or asking any Tri-Valley Lions member.
The Lions club is in need of hearing aids that are no longer needed. They can be dropped off wherever the Lions collect used eyeglasses, which are currently located at the Valley View Post Office and Redners Food Market, Hegins. They can also be deposited in a drop box next to the Lions mailbox at 535 East Main Street Hegins, or given to any Lions member.
