Bloomington, Minn. – May 16, 2024 – With the help of 260 hearing care practices throughout the United States and Canada, ReSound today announces that 661 hearing aids were donated to 331 people as part of the annual Gift of Hearing campaign that ran December 2023 through April 2024. This was the first year that Canada participated in the campaign.
The Gift of Hearing also surpassed an important milestone in 2024, with 1,073 people now having been fitted with free hearing aids since the campaign’s inception in 2020.
“It’s amazing to see the growth of this campaign each year,” says Mikkel Knudsen, President, ReSound U.S. “The collective impact is only possible thanks to the time and talents of so many amazing hearing care professionals. We’re so grateful to be a part of it.”
ReSound partners with hearing care professionals in the annual Gift of Hearing campaign to donate care and technology to people with hearing loss who are experiencing financial hardship. Each participating practice received ReSound Nexia or ReSound OMNIA hearing aids to award to a patient determined by that practice.
The 2024-25 Gift of Hearing campaign will return November 2024.
