Together we can End the Silence of Deafness
The Downtown San Diego Lions Club is committed to supporting the hearing needs of low-income individuals in our community. Through partnerships with reputable organizations like The Hearing Foundation (also known as Ear of the Lion) and Deaf Community Services of San Diego (DCS), we offer essential referrals and services to ensure everyone has access to the hearing assistance they need.
Hearing Aid Assistance with Ear of the Lion
For those in need of hearing aids, the Downtown San Diego Lions Club collaborates with The Hearing Foundation, commonly referred to as Ear of the Lion. This organization has been providing affordable hearing aid solutions to individuals with limited financial resources for decades. They are dedicated to ensuring that no one is left without the ability to hear due to financial barriers.
If you or someone you know requires a hearing aid, you can contact Ear of the Lion toll-free at (800) 327-8077 or visit their website at www.earofthelion.org for more information. Additionally, they accept donations of used hearing aids, which are refurbished and provided to those in need. By donating, you can make a significant impact on the life of someone struggling with hearing loss.
Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community
The Downtown San Diego Lions Club also proudly partners with Deaf Community Services of San Diego, Inc. (DCS). This nonprofit organization is devoted to promoting the full participation of deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in all aspects of society. DCS offers a wide range of services, including American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting, advocacy, and educational programs, ensuring that the deaf and hard-of-hearing community has access to the same opportunities as everyone else.
The mission of DCS is to empower individuals by breaking down barriers related to communication and accessibility. Whether through educational outreach or personal assistance, DCS works to create a more inclusive environment for everyone. You can contact Deaf Community Services at (619) 398-2441 or visit their website at www.deafcommunityservices.org for more details on the services they offer.
Get Involved and Support
The Downtown San Diego Lions Club encourages community involvement to support these organizations. Whether you are looking to donate hearing aids, volunteer your time, or seek assistance for yourself or a loved one, these partnerships ensure that help is available.
By working with Ear of the Lion and Deaf Community Services, we strive to make San Diego a more inclusive and accessible place for all individuals, regardless of their hearing abilities.
