Hearing
In Illinois, health coverage insurers and Medicaid are required to offer coverage for hearing aids for children under the age of 18 years and for adults aged 65+.
For adults 65+, insurance is required to offer hearing aid coverage as an option; please check with your coverage.
Unfortunately our current support here in the Fairbury Lions Club for hearing needs is very limited. Below are some resources as a suggested starting point for finding financial assistance. If you have exhausted your resources and still need help, contact us by emailing a message to info@fairburylionsclub.org and we will evaluate support requests on a case by case basis to see if we are able to help.
