IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE
The H.I.K.E. (Hearing Improvement Kids Equipment) Fund (Canada) is dedicated to providing hearing or assistive listening devices to children in need.
We raise funds to assist children under the age of 20, who have mild to severe hearing loss whose families have a financial need. Our aim is to help kids achieve a better quality of life through direct community involvement by social interaction in their school environment. Applicants with a documented hearing loss are considered without regard to gender, race, ethnicity, or creed.

We’ve worked with countless professionals and have helped hundreds of Canadian families over the years, here’s what some of them have to say:
H.I.K.E. Fund Canada fills a very important role in the community as they ensure that financial status is not a barrier to accessing appropriate hearing equipment. I have seen the direct positive impact of their work on children, youth, and families. I’m grateful for their commitment and their support.
GK was fit with her new hearing aids yesterday! She was very pleased with the sound and the colour choice. Her mother was thrilled that your organization was able to help her family purchase GK’s last set of pediatric hearing aids. The little family works so hard and I’m so happy we were all able to help them out with this! We thank you so much for all the amazing work you do helping families get hearing aids for their children.
I received my first pair of hearing aids with your generosity at age 5 and recently received my second pair. Hearing aids are expensive and your fund will help my family abundantly. I will try to make sure that my disability does not prevent me from achieving my goals. Thank you.
Thanks once again for your immediate willingness to help us!We were able to negotiate for compassionate pricing and secure enough funding to move forward with purchasing hearing aids for our young client.
I was taken by your generosity of spirit and sang your praises to our Infant Hearing Program team!
