Don’t Let Your Old Cochlear Equipment Sit in a Drawer

What many people don't realise is that some of this equipment may still have value — and could help support someone else who relies on cochlear implant technology.

Every year, cochlear implant processors and related accessories are replaced as people upgrade to newer technology. While these upgrades can make an important difference in someone’s hearing journey, the equipment they replace often ends up forgotten in a drawer or cupboard.

What many people don’t realise is that some of this equipment may still have value — and could help support someone else who relies on cochlear implant technology.

Give Cochlear Equipment a Second Life

Cochlear implant technology can be costly, particularly when processors, accessories or components need to be replaced.

By donating cochlear implant equipment that you no longer use, you give Hear We Go the opportunity to assess whether it could benefit someone else.

A processor, charger or compatible accessory sitting unused in your home could become valuable support in another person’s hearing journey.

What Can Be Donated?

Hear We Go welcomes suitable cochlear implant equipment and related accessories, including:

  • Cochlear implant sound processors
  • Coils and cables
  • Chargers and charging stations
  • Rechargeable battery modules and compatible battery equipment
  • Remote controls
  • Microphones and connectivity accessories
  • Carrying and protective cases
  • Other compatible cochlear implant components and accessories

Please note that Hear We Go currently focuses specifically on cochlear implant equipment and related accessories and does not accept conventional hearing aids.

If you’re unsure whether your equipment is suitable for donation, contact our team and we’ll gladly advise you.

Every Donation Can Make a Difference

Even equipment that has been replaced by newer technology may still be useful.

Processors and components can be professionally assessed, while compatible accessories may help support cochlear implant users who need replacement equipment.

That’s why it’s worth checking before leaving unused cochlear equipment in a drawer or simply discarding it.

Join the Journey

Cochlear implant equipment that is no longer part of your hearing journey could become meaningful support in someone else’s.

By donating your unused cochlear equipment to Hear We Go, you’re giving that technology an opportunity to continue making a difference.

Together, we can help more children and adults access the support they need to hear, connect and participate more fully in everyday life.
