Hearing the Call – Florida

Hearing the Call – Florida is designed to provide access to quality and affordable hearing healthcare for qualified individuals in the Sunshine State. Seven clinics in the state are supporting this initiative. The audiologists have known for years that there were a lot more people who needed hearing healthcare but couldn’t afford it. Our campaign brings hope and healing to the hearing-impaired locally in Florida. Through quality healthcare, we help people connect with family, education, and opportunities.
