Yes Hearing's Mission
Yes Hearing’s mission is to advance access to hearing aids for over 30 million Americans that currently suffer from hearing loss, yet do not own hearing aids. Hearing aids are proven to enhance the overall well-being of persons that wear the devices, yet the high costs associated with the purchase and the reluctance to actually visit a local audiologist mean millions of Americans do not get the care they need. We aim to solve this problem by having a fully integrated network of dispensing audiologists to conduct home visits across the United States.
