Activity Description: ComCare International's solar rechargeable Model GLW hearing aid provides a low-cost solution for millions of the world's poor who do not have access to the continual supply of disposable batteries necessary in more common, and more expensive hearing aids.

The GLW model incorporates a rugged design with a case that seals internal parts from dirt and moisture, while the body-worn size permits the incorporation of less expensive and more reliable electronic components.

Individual units are priced at US$100.
