Southern California Fires Highlight Disaster Preparedness
People with hearing loss face additional challenges

Although emergencies like this one, Hurricane Helene and other recent natural disasters can be tough for anyone, people with hearing loss or other disabilities are especially at risk.

Here are some tips to prepare for a potential evacuation and stay safe:

Stay current with technology—download smartphone apps such as the FEMA App for disasters, Watch Duty for wildfires and your local city or county emergency alerts.

Heed any official warnings and evacuations immediately. Most alerts are now transmitted in text format, whether via cellphone or on the television screen, and there is even American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation available in some areas.

Prepare a “go bag” that includes backup devices, extra batteries, chargers and accessories, in addition to standard recommended evacuation items.

Hearing Aid and Implant Manufacturers Step Up to Help with Missing Equipment

If you or anyone you know has been evacuated from the L.A. fires without critical hearing equipment, reach out to your hearing care professional (HCP) immediately. Many hearing aid and cochlear implant (CI) manufacturers, as well as local audiologists and hearing aid specialists, are offering to replace missing or damaged devices, chargers, batteries and related items free of charge.

Here are some resources we know about:

HLAA Hear for Life partners Starkey, ReSound, MED-EL and Cochlear are among the companies that may replace damaged or lost equipment for fire victims.

Starkey offers to replace theirs or any brand of hearing aids at no charge to L.A. fire or Hurricane Helene victims. Reach out to your HCP or email StarkeyCares@starkey.com.

ReSound will repair/replace damaged or lost hearing aids free of charge, waiving all fees and foregoing claim paperwork, for their patients in the affected areas. Contact your HCP, email consumerhelp@gnresound.com or call 888.735.4327.

Cochlear Americas is committed to supporting recipients who lost CI equipment in the fires. Contact their ProCare service team at customer@cochlear.com or call 800.483.3123.

MED-EL provides 24/7/365 customer service support for troubleshooting, orders and warranty replacement services. Email customerservice.us@medel.com or call 866-633-3524.

Advanced Bionics, Oticon, Phonak, Signia and Widex also have disaster replacement programs. Contact your HCP for details.
