My dad is losing his hearing and is on a limited income. Is there any place out there that can help him?

Question

He has Medicare and Medicaid, but each place we've looked, they want 1500.00 or more upfront. We can't afford that and with him being a terminally ill patient, I want him to be able to hear his grandchildrens laughter as long as he can. Please help!

And if you want to give answers such as twilight, don't even respond. You see, I do have a job but am recovering from a heart attack myself so unless you can help don't waste my time please.........as for what state I am in....it's Alabama and no, he's not a veteran.......thank you for asking and for any help you all have tried to give me. I appreciate it.

Answer 1

What state are you in?

Hi I don't know exactly what county you're in, but I was researching online, and this group that I found is a senior advocacy group. Please contact them, they will be able to help you, or at the very least direct you to a group in your area that can.

If you need anything else, please e-mail me.
