As we jump into 2024, a leap year with an extra day in February, we want to extend our warmest wishes for a year filled with health, happiness, and the sounds of joy.
Let’s Welcome 2024 With a Leap Toward Discovery
Our Impact This Year, Thanks to You
Impact 2023
Sounds Emitted by the Ear Provide a Window Onto the Cochlea’s Frequency Tuning
We demonstrated that sounds emitted by the ear—called otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), specifically distortion-product OAEs—may provide a noninvasive window onto cochlear frequency tuning. OAEs are a byproduct of the amplification process mediated by outer hair cells and are often measured in clinical hearing screenings.
HHF Is 65 This Year!
More funding and more time leads to more ambitious experimental plans, additional data collected, and a stronger footing for subsequent research and research funding.
Step Up for Science Match Through May 19
Every May, we invite our community to join us as we Step Up for Science in support of the ERG program, our flagship research effort—with a dollar for dollar match. Your gift goes twice as far.
Research Pioneers Help Us Sustain Our Science
One way to help all those with hearing conditions is to become a Research Pioneer, a special group of friends who give a monthly gift to support HHF. Research Pioneers provide predictable funding we can count on to fund life-changing scientific breakthroughs.
Highlights From the Hearing Restoration Project
Here are highlights of recent accomplishments, including demonstrating that a cocktail of three factors can promote conversion of nonsensory cells into hair cells in the mouse model.
Welcome, 2023!
We know that creating a healthier future starts with you, and we’re committed to providing accessible resources that you and your family can use.
Our Impact in 2022, Thanks to You
