The hospital will be able to buy two of the machines thanks to the efforts of the 70 local singers.
The Steeton men teamed up with Kidderminster Male Voice Choir in early August.
The concert was a "return fixture" following the Steeton singers' tour of Worcester.
The men also recently toured the Republic of Ireland as part of this year's centenary celebrations.
The choir performs many concerts each year, including several for local charities.
The next performance will be on September 6 at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, is in support of the Royal College of radiologists.
The sell-out performance is at the invitation of the stately home's owner, that the Duchess of Devonshire.
