AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATED TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A HEARING AID LOAN BANK.

This bill creates a Hearing Aid Loan Bank Program within the Division of Public Health. The Hearing Aid Loan Bank would benefit children under the age of 3 who do not otherwise qualify for public assistance, but are unable to afford a hearing aid during the language learning phase of the child's life. Loans would initially be for 6 months with possible 3 month extensions granted by the Program Manager. Parents or guardians of the recipient children would be responsible for the safekeeping of the hearing aid. Federal grant money available to the Department of Health and Social Services ensures that most, if not all, of the components necessary for the program are already in place.
