HHF is pleased to share the most significant activities and accomplishments of the Fiscal Year 2020 — the year that the COVID-19 pandemic threatened to halt our groundbreaking hearing and balance research. Thanks to our supporters’ unwavering commitment, our Annual report tells a markedly different story.
Giving Tuesday: Support What Matters Most
Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) is so grateful that you have been part of our mission to advance cures for hearing loss, tinnitus, and related conditions in 2020. Thanks to you, science did not stop this year, despite a pandemic that threatened otherwise. With your help, HHF-funded scientists adapted to remote work focusing on data analysis, virtual experiments, and manuscript preparation before ultimately returning safely to their labs.
Presenting Our FY19 Annual Report
Thank you for your support of Hearing Health Foundation (HHF)’s groundbreaking research to improve the lives of people living with hearing and balance conditions. I am pleased to share the outcomes of our donors’ generosity in the Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2019 (Oct. 1, 2018 - Sept. 30, 2019).
During COVID-19, HHF Remains Committed to You
Rest assured that HHF remains committed to funding innovative science to prevent, treat, and cure hearing and balance disorders. The staff, Board of Directors, advisory bodies, researchers, and volunteers are working tirelessly to ensure operations continue as fully as possible under these unprecedented circumstances.
World Hearing Day: Don't Let Hearing Loss Limit You
Today, March 3, is World Hearing Day, an annual celebration of hearing loss awareness spearheaded by the World Health Organization. The theme is “Don’t let hearing loss limit you.” Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) envisions a world where no one is limited by their hearing loss, tinnitus, or a related disorder.
You Put Better Hearing Health in Reach
In 2019, HHF funded 21 major research projects, and our grantees published significant findings to advance our knowledge of TMC1 gene therapy delivery, the connections between tinnitus and hearing loss, the mechanics of speech processing, the diagnostics of Ménière's disease, and more. We could not be here without you.
