In summer 2020, Erica Patino, who lives with a genetic hearing loss, interviewed Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) President & CEO about our research programs and progress toward hearing loss cures. HHF’s focus has always been and remains funding the basic science that propels scientific knowledge forward and comprises the building blocks in the development of new treatments, devices, and approaches. Basic science research is foundational and critical to finding cures for hearing loss.
Why Suffer?
If you have a hearing loss, why suffer? The price you pay for not fully hearing well is far, far more than the perceived vanity lost from wearing hearing devices. This type of health benefit should be no more of a stigma than self improvement through wearing braces or glasses, and equally as commonplace.
Veterans Leading the Way
HHF leaders John Dillard and Timothy Higdon are two U.S. Army veterans who bring, collectively, over four decades of military service to HHF as its Board of Directors chair and CEO, respectively. Here they share the perspectives and experiences gained from their service in the military and what they hope to accomplish in their new roles.
