For many communities the last couple of months have been a period of unfathomable trauma and loss due to the fires. With such a geographically diverse network of clinics, we know we have had customers and employees within fire zones since September last year.

There have been many incredible Australian and International support and donation efforts being offered. This generosity is incredible and will help greatly in the recovery and rebuilding of people’s homes and communities.

We at bloom™ hearing specialists want to support those in need and will be offering the following support options:

Product donations

Clinics in areas of immediate threat are connecting with their local bushfire relief centres to deliver batteries and provide clinic contact information for those people who have evacuated without their aids and supplies. You are also welcome to get in touch with your local clinic.

Replacement hearing aids

If you have lost or damaged your hearing aids due to the fires, speak with your clinician about what can be done in addition to our existing Widex Loss and Damage Insurance program.

Fundraising

We will donate $50 per pair of hearing aids for sales completed in January. We have a donation target of $50,000 going directly to the impacted areas.
