HHTM honors technological innovation and achievement in the hearing industry. In its inaugural year, HHTM successfully raised over $4,000 for the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) through the awards program. For 2021, the organization hopes to double its impact by supporting both HLAA and HHF.
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.
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.
It all started with Braden’s dog, Chewy, who chewed up a then 10-year-old Braden’s expensive hearing aids one warm, June night in 2017—for the second time. Born with a bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, Braden, a now 13-year-old Fort Worth, Texas native, has worn hearing aids since he was seven months old. It turns out, Chewy has expensive taste as custom hearing aids can run from $1,000 to a whopping $6,000 dollars per pair.
When, 20 years ago, Delane started to lose her own hearing, she decided she would not let that happen to her. She wanted to remain vibrant and engaged with life—not invisible or isolated. Her audiologist, the same one she still sees at age 90, instructed her to wear her hearing aids all day, every day.
Giving Tuesday — the biggest day of online giving to support nonprofits like Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) — is only two weeks away on Tuesday, December 3. All gifts received in honor of Giving Tuesday will be generously matched by an anonymous donor.
It’s easy to give to Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). In 2018 donors pledged a total of more than $90 million through the CFC, the workplace giving program for current and retired federal and military personnel.
Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) was thrilled to join this year’s Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund Charity Day on Wednesday, September 11, 2019 in New York City. The annual philanthropic event “turns a tragic day into one that is positive and uplifting by helping others.”
Hearing regeneration is already possible in frogs, fish, and yes, chickens. With your help, the members of HHF’s Hearing Restoration Project (HRP) can accelerate their studies to identify permanent cures and better the lives of millions.
Thank you for doing the most good for hearing loss through Hearing Health Foundation (HHF)’s Good to Hear giving campaign earlier this month.
