German Hearing Aid Center Mia Branch Donates Hearing Aids to Vulnerable Elderly for 4th Year
German Hearing Aid Center Mia Branch Donates Hearing Aids Worth 30 Million KRW Over 4 Years to Low-Income Elderly
Provided to Elderly with Communication Difficulties Despite No Disability Grade Issued
Seongbuk-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) Deaf One Hearing Aid Mia Branch has once again supported low-income elderly residents in Seongbuk-gu this year.
Deaf One Hearing Aid Mia Branch (Director Kim Dong-hoon) has donated hearing aids worth a total of 30 million KRW over four years since 2021. The donated hearing aids were given to low-income elderly individuals who have difficulty communicating due to hearing loss but do not qualify for disability ratings and therefore do not receive government support, making it financially difficult for them to purchase hearing aids.
Director Kim Dong-hoon stated while delivering the hearing aids, “Hearing loss can increase stress hormone levels due to social isolation, negatively affecting brain structure, leading to cognitive decline and eventually dementia. Wearing hearing aids alone can be effective in prevention.”
