One can turn to a variety of resources for help.
There is no guarantee, though, that you will receive the help needed.
Government and Schools
There are governmental sources that may pay for hearing aids for those who qualify.

Sometimes you’re free to get the school to provide hearing aids.
These plans let you take money out of your pay pre-tax.
This money is used to cover medical expenses not covered by your health insurance.
Not all employers offer them, and only $500 can roll over from year to year.
Organizations Providing Hearing Aid Assistance
Both independent organizations and social services organizations provide assistance.
Plus, hearing aid banks provide used or refurbished hearing aids.
Often, these providers will know of such resources.
Another one is the Starkey Hearing Foundation.
