Beltone Hear For The Holidays 2026

CHICAGO — The holidays are filled with conversations, laughter, and traditions that bring people together. But for millions of Americans experiencing hearing loss, those moments can be difficult to fully enjoy. This holiday season, Beltone is continuing its commitment to making hearing care more accessible with the launch of its fourth annual Hear for the Holidays giveaway.

Through December 31, 2026, individuals across the country can nominate themselves or a deserving loved one for the opportunity to receive a free pair of Beltone hearing aids. The nationwide initiative, held in partnership with the Beltone Hearing Care Foundation, helps remove financial barriers to hearing care and gives individuals who might otherwise go without hearing aids an opportunity to reconnect with the world around them.

Hearing loss can change the way people experience everyday life, from conversations around the dinner table to the simple moments shared with family and friends. Through Hear for the Holidays, we have an opportunity to make a meaningful difference for individuals who may not otherwise have access to the hearing care they need. As we enter our fourth year, we're excited to continue bringing this program to communities across the country and helping more people experience the difference better hearing can make.

For individuals experiencing untreated hearing loss, even familiar holiday traditions can become challenging. Following conversations in a crowded room, hearing a loved one's voice, or participating in family gatherings may require additional effort, sometimes leading individuals to withdraw from the moments they once enjoyed.

Hear for the Holidays aims to change that by providing access to hearing aids and professional hearing care through participating Beltone locations nationwide. Beyond the holiday season, better hearing can help individuals participate more fully in everyday conversations, maintain relationships, and feel more confident in social settings.

How to Nominate

Nominations are open through December 31, 2026. Individuals can nominate themselves or someone they know by visiting the Beltone Hear for the Holidays website.

Nominees must complete a complimentary hearing screening at a participating Beltone location to determine eligibility. Additional program details and eligibility requirements are available on the campaign website.
