Help Fund 60 Hearing Aid Grants 

No one should delay getting hearing support because they cannot afford it.


The Hearing Aid Fund helps eligible people aged 18 and older across New Zealand access hearing aids when cost stands in the way.

With your support, we can help more people take action earlier, stay connected, and live with greater confidence.
Our goal this June is to raise $30,000 to help fund 60 hearing aid grants in 2026.

Cost Should Not Be The Reason Someone Delays Hearing Support

We believe that when people are ready to act on their hearing loss, the cost of hearing aids should not put that step out of reach. Your support helps remove that barrier.

Practical Support For Eligible People Across Aotearoa

The Hearing Aid Fund provides $500 grants to eligible people aged 18 and older across New Zealand. Grants can be used with any hearing aid provider in New Zealand.
