Our program is designed to help children maintain access to sound with loaner hearing aids during the 2-4 weeks when their own hearing aid(s) are out for repair.
Connecticut Children’s loaner hearing aids are digital behind-the-ear hearing aids fit to the needs of each child, but may not be the same make or model hearing aid as your child’s own hearing aid.
Requesting a Loaner Hearing Aid
You can contact your managing audiologist or the audiology department 860.545.9642. Advanced notice is appreciated so that we can prepare an appropriate loaner hearing aid to meet your child’s hearing needs in a timely manner.
Returning a Loaner Hearing Aid
We rely on a timely return of Connecticut Children’s loaner hearing aids to refill our loaner bank for the next child in need. When you pick up your child’s repaired hearing aid we ask that you return the loaner hearing aid.
Where are Loaner Hearing Aids Available?
You can obtain a loaner hearing aid from any Connecticut Children’s location that provides Audiology services.
