Hearing Facts
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide have moderate to profound hearing loss in both ears.
People with untreated hearing loss can suffer from depression, isolation and withdrawal.
Children with hearing loss have difficulty learning and gaining the self-esteem to succeed in school and life.
What is a Hearing Angel?
You can become a Hearing Angel by making a difference in the hearing lives of children in need at home and around the globe.
Imagine never hearing your mother’s voice or the sound of laughter. Many children with hearing loss can be helped. For as little as $200, a child can be fit with hearing aids and receive the precious gift of sound.
Every dollar you give goes to the Starkey Hearing Foundation to help children here and around the globe who cannot afford proper hearing care. The impact of your gift is profound. Many of these children live in impoverished situations, many are orphaned and do not attend school. The gift of hearing opens up not only a world of sound, but a world of possibilities for these children.
Starkey Hearing Foundation has helped hundreds of thousands to hear better. All the hearing mission trips are paid for by generous donations like yours. We have ongoing domestic and international hearing missions in development year round. Click here to learn more.
“Our reward is in the faces and smiles of each child as we help them hear again. We truly live through what we give – we live on into the future through our gifts back into our community and to humanity.” – Bill Austin, Founder of Starkey Hearing Foundation
