Perhaps most of all, the message of enjoying responsibly is one we really try to impart.
What We Can Learn From the Eclipse
Hyperacusis Research Presentation at ARO
At the 2024 Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO) MidWinter Meeting, held in early February in Anaheim, California, our partner Hyperacusis Research hosted a dinner where several researchers presented their latest findings.
Leveling Up Awareness About Gaming and the Risk to Hearing
Potential solutions include reducing dynamic range, volume reduction when not actively participating in the game, and actively reducing sounds that are known to induce tinnitus, or hearing ringing or buzzing sounds.
Seeing Friends at ARO in Anaheim
Palpable excitement was raised by reports from researchers who have recently published results of landmark gene therapy trials in young children targeting the otoferlin gene.
HHF Completes First Phase of Its Transformative Planned Giving Matching Challenge
The 218 planned gift commitments total an estimated $30 million to $50 million, 100 percent of which will be used to fund scientific research on hearing loss and related conditions.
Hearing When You Can’t Hear
A survey of more than 1,500 respondents with hearing loss found that while many look for and request accommodations, they are often not available—62 percent answered “seldom or never” when asked how often they can find accommodations.
Recruiting for a Gene Therapy Trial
Right now we are actively recruiting volunteers with hearing loss to participate in an outpatient research study to understand the genes that cause non-syndromic autosomal dominant hearing loss (DFNA).
We Are Proud of Our Charity Ratings
We know that these independent assessments of a nonprofit organization’s fiscal responsibility are important to donors who rely on them to evaluate where to allocate their dollars. We work hard to maintain these top marks.

We Are Filled With Gratitude This Thanksgiving
