Denver Lions also collects used hearing aids to recycle.
While Lions are well known for collecting thousands of eyeglasses for recycling. Lions also have a little known program of recycling hearing aids. How it works. We collect the hearing aids the same way as the eyeglasses by using the same donation boxes. The box may not say hearing aids but it is OK to put in the aids. The aids and glasses are sorted at our Denver Lions office.
Lion Sally Hooks is the Hearing Conservation Chair. We have partnered with the Marion Downs Center in Denver. They refurbish the hearing aids we have collected and provide them to individuals in need. With recommendations from Marion Downs Center, the Denver Lions also assist with hearing exams and aid fitting.
