*If you need financial assistance for hearing aids, a Parent-Infant Program for D/HH Children Specialist can help you contact these agencies. Usually, the agencies will want to hear from your child's audiologist and/or an early intervention specialist who can specifically address how hearing aids will benefit your child.
