Our Story

Zambia, located in Southern Africa, is a developing nation of more than 20 million people. Despite a high need for hearing care, Zambia has only one audiologist. Hearing the Call has visited annually since 2014 to host hearing health clinics in rural areas. 

Our Impact

Since 2015, Hearing the Call has served over 1,700 Zambians through hearing health clinics. 

430 hearing aids fit on rural Zambians.

105 volunteers visited Zambia to provide care.

The Need

1 in 5 Americans suffers from hearing loss to an extent that interferes with communication. We believe no one should miss out on participating fully in life due to hearing loss. Untreated hearing loss has a devastating impact on individuals, families, and communities. Sadly, even Medicare does not cover any of the costs of treating hearing loss, nor do many health insurance plans.

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.”

Our Services

  • Reduced Fee Hearing Clinic for individuals with incomes up to 250% Federal Poverty Level
  • Hearing Aid Donation Program collects used hearing aids for use on humanitarian trips, non-profit work, repairs or credit towards better technology.
  • International Hearing Missions

One of the most difficult things for someone who has hearing loss is to regain some of that ability, only then to lose it again.
