Our Story
Our hearing missions do more than connect people to people – they are a lifeline for those who face daily threats to their safety due to hearing loss. From removing deeply impacted ear wax to providing life-saving hearing aids when hearing is a crucial defense against danger, our work changes lives. Join us.
Our Mission
We’re committed to making a positive impact on humanitarian health, happiness, and safety by bringing essential hearing care to underserved communities-to give hope and security to those who need it.
Our Vision
Our vision is to establish hearing care for every ear, every age, everywhere, through education, community collaboration, training local care givers, and providing the equipment necessary for a lasting impact on hearing health.
Our Promise
Our promise is to lead a collaboration of care and education of hearing health between communities rich in resources and those without resources to provide equal access to hearing health for all.
The Need
The Center for Disease control (CDC) reported:
- “Hearing loss from noise is 100% preventable.”
- 1 in 6 to 8 teenagers between the ages of 12-19 years old have hearing loss from noise.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported:
- over 1 billion young adults are at risk for permanent hearing loss due to unsafe listening measures.
- By 2050 nearly 25 billion people are projected to have some degree of hearing loss.
- 25% of Americans between the age of 20-69 have noise induced hearing loss
Americans suffer from hearing loss to an extent that interferes with communication and safety. We believe no one should miss out on participating fully in life due to hearing loss. Research shows untreated hearing loss can increase the risk for dementia and has a devastating impact on individuals, families, and communities.
Our Give Back Model
“Qualified participants will show proof of financial need, pay a small fee for their hearing devices, and give back volunteer hours in their community as a way to say “Thank you” to the local companies, families, and friends that are donating for their care.”
