This page is a trial for a project that NCSHHH can run that simplifies how we get unused equipment to people who need it.
Many of us have a box (or even a closet) full of serviceable equipment related to hearing loss that we are no longer using. It's such a shame to let that sit there when we could donate that through this NCSHHH program to people who could use it.
This page provides a listing equipment that is being offered by SHHH members (or anyone really) to NCSHHH for redistribute to someone who needs it. See:
If you have equipment related to hearing loss that you are willing to donate to this program, please send an email to Steve Barber which provides a description of the item. See the examples in the table, below, to see what kind of details are needed. Please keep the item until a suitable recipient has been found. NCSHHH will then notify you so arrangements can be made to get the item to the recipient.
NCSHHH is a 501 C3 non-profit organization, so you may be able to claim a fair market value as a tax deduction, but more important if we can find a recipient, you'll have the satisfaction of helping someone else who can use your unused equipment.

- North Carolina SHHH Chapters
- SHHH members
- North Carolina non-profits supporting people

- individuals in North Carolina
Please notify the Share and Care Coordinator at nobody@ncshhh.org if you:
