INDIANAPOLIS – Dec. 5, 2025 – The most wonderful time of the year can also be the most isolating for those experiencing hearing loss. To help more people reconnect with the sounds and moments that matter, Beltone’s Greenwood and Northwest Indy clinics have launched their third annual Hear for the Holidays campaign alongside approximately 1,200 participating Beltone locations across the country.
Now through Dec. 31, people can nominate themselves or someone they love for the chance to receive a free pair of hearing aids provided by the Beltone Hearing Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to removing barriers to hearing care. Over the past 10 years, the foundation has given away more than 8,300 hearing aids at no cost to recipients. During last year’s Hear for the Holidays campaign alone, the foundation donated more than 1,250 hearing aids.
“Many people who walk through our clinic doors tell us they want to feel more confident during holiday get-togethers,” said Robert Mathes, Beltone Hearing Aid Specialist. “Restored hearing helps them step into conversations with ease and make the most out of time spent with loved ones while also keeping them safe and alert throughout the season.”
Nationally, Beltone’s Hear for the Holidays program reflects its 85 years of commitment to improving the lives of the nearly 50 million Americans with hearing loss, per the Hearing Loss Association of America — highlighting the importance of enhanced hearing when families are gathered, stories are shared and memories are made.
The Importance of Better Hearing During the Holidays
Improved Connections: Clear hearing supports meaningful interaction during family dinners and holiday parties, enabling enriched participation in group conversations.
Holistic Health Benefits: Prioritizing hearing health can improve overall well-being by mitigating risks like dementia, falls, strained relationships, and rising healthcare expenses.
Emotional Wellness & Warmth: Enhanced hearing boosts confidence in social settings while also reducing the stress and anxiety associated with trying to keep up.
Safety & Awareness: Amid emergencies or mishaps, stronger hearing helps individuals stay alert to their surroundings and safely navigate busy holiday environments.
To qualify, nominees must submit a nomination form online, complete a complimentary hearing screening at a participating Beltone location and have a minimum hearing loss of 25 decibels.
Call 317-882-5300 for Beltone Greenwood or 317-334-4444 for Beltone Northwest Indianapolis to schedule a screening before Dec. 31. Appointments are available at 1551 E. Stop 12 Rd., Suite F in Greenwood or 2250 W. 86th St., Suite 160 in Indianapolis.
