Beltone has opened nominations for its fourth annual Hear for the Holidays giveaway, which offers selected recipients a free pair of hearing aids and access to professional hearing care. Nominations are open nationwide through Dec. 31, 2026; nominees must complete a complimentary screening at a participating Beltone location.
Beltone has launched the fourth annual Hear for the Holidays giveaway, a nationwide program offering selected recipients a free pair of hearing aids and access to professional hearing care. Nominations are open through Dec. 31, 2026, and people can nominate themselves or someone else, according to the company’s announcement reported by The Hearing Review.
The initiative is run in partnership with the Beltone Hearing Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that the source says is dedicated to reducing financial barriers to hearing care. The campaign is aimed at people experiencing hearing loss who may not otherwise have access to care. Nominations can be submitted through the campaign website at about.beltone.com/hear-for-the-holidays-2026.
Nominees must complete a complimentary hearing screening at a participating Beltone location to determine eligibility. Those selected receive a pair of Beltone hearing aids and professional hearing care through the company’s network of approximately 1,200 locations nationwide. The campaign website lists additional eligibility requirements; the supplied announcement does not specify how many people will receive hearing aids or when recipients will be notified.
The company describes the program as an annual effort to reach people who face barriers to hearing care. The screening requirement means submitting a nomination alone does not establish eligibility or guarantee an award. Applicants should review the program’s published requirements and arrange the required screening at a participating location.
A Hearing-Care Award With Screening
The giveaway offers a route to hearing aids and related professional care for selected people who might otherwise struggle to access them. That matters because, as the campaign announcement describes, hearing loss can make conversations and shared activities harder to follow, including at family gatherings. The program provides a defined opportunity for nominations, but it is not described as a general distribution of hearing aids to everyone who applies.
For readers considering a nomination, the practical point is that the award includes more than a device: recipients also have access to professional hearing care. The required screening is part of the eligibility process, and the company’s network of approximately 1,200 locations may provide a way for nominees in different parts of the country to complete it. The announcement does not give details about the number of awards or selection criteria beyond the screening and additional requirements posted online.

The Giveaway’s Fourth Annual Run
Beltone’s 2026 campaign is the fourth annual Hear for the Holidays giveaway, according to the company announcement. The supplied report does not give dates or results for the previous campaigns, so it does not establish how many people have received hearing aids in earlier years or how this year’s program compares with them.
The initiative is being conducted with the Beltone Hearing Care Foundation. Beltone says the foundation’s purpose is to help remove financial barriers to hearing care. The current campaign combines nominations with a hearing screening and, for selected recipients, a pair of the company’s hearing aids and access to care through its locations. The announcement does not describe the foundation’s broader activities or provide independent information about the program’s outcomes.
“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.”
— David Molella, president of Beltone Hearing
Award Numbers and Selection Details
The announcement does not say how many recipients will be selected, how nominees will be evaluated beyond the required screening, or when winners will be contacted. It directs applicants to the campaign website for additional eligibility requirements, but those detailed criteria are not included in the supplied report. It is also not clear whether there are limits on the number of nominations one person may submit or how long the selection process will take.
The program is described as a nationwide initiative, but the source does not list participating clinic locations or explain whether every location is taking part. Readers should check the campaign website or contact a participating Beltone location for current application and screening details.
Nominations Close December 31
People can nominate themselves or another person through about.beltone.com/hear-for-the-holidays-2026 until Dec. 31, 2026. Nominees must complete a complimentary hearing screening at a participating Beltone location as part of eligibility. Beltone has not provided a recipient announcement date in the supplied material, so the next confirmed milestone is the nomination deadline.
Applicants can consult the campaign website for the full eligibility requirements and any updates about selection or notification. The source does not specify whether the deadline refers to the time a nomination is submitted or also requires the screening to be completed by that date; nominees may need to confirm timing directly with Beltone.
