We are proud to announce our partnership with the D’une Oreille à l’Autre (From One Ear to the Other) program, an initiative by the APDA (Association des personnes avec une déficience de l’audition – Association for People with a Hearing Impairment) which aims to make hearing accessible to everyone. This collaboration allows us to extend our commitment to the community by offering our services to those who need them most.
What is the D’une Oreille à l’Autre Program?
The D’une Oreille à l’Autre program was created to help low-income individuals who are not covered by public or private insurance and who do not have the financial means to purchase hearing aids. Thanks to the generosity of donors, the APDA collects, cleans, and reconditions hearing aids and assistive listening devices to redistribute them free of charge to eligible individuals.
As a partner, Clinique Auditive Laniel contributes to this mission by offering the necessary adjustment services for these devices at no cost. Our team of volunteer audioprosthetists ensures that every beneficiary receives professional and personalized service, allowing for optimal comfort and effectiveness.
