Oklahoma School for the Deaf
Children’s Hearing Aid Program
The Oklahoma
School for the Deaf is currently administering a children’s
hearing aid program for school age children in Oklahoma. This
program is specifically for children who have no other means to
obtain a hearing aid. The program will provide two hearing aids
per qualifying child. Application should be made through the
Oklahoma School for the Deaf Telecommunication Program. Along
with an application, parents will be required to provide proof
of family income and a signed statement that their child is
unable to obtain hearing aids through Medicaid or private
insurance.
After
approval, children will be evaluated by the audiologist from the
Oklahoma School for the Deaf. Evaluations will be done either
at the school campus in Sulphur, or in Tulsa at TSHA. Based on
the audiologist’s evaluation and recommendation, the child’s
hearing aids will be ordered through the Oklahoma School for the
Deaf.
For
additional information, or for an application, please contact
the Student Assessment Center at the Oklahoma School for the
Deaf at (580)622-8812 or 1-866-309-1717.
