Delaware Newborn Hearing Aid Loaner Bank Program

Who is Eligible?
- A child under the age of 3 years with documentation of confirmed diagnosis of hearing loss from a referring audiologist.
- A family of a child under the age of 3 years presenting a need for a temporary loan of hearing aids, while making arrangements to secure permanent amplification through insurance or other means.
