Hearing Well Matters — All Day, Every Day
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.
HHF’s 4-Star Charity Navigator Rating Renewed
Thank you for believing in Hearing Health Foundation (HHF). Your trust has again been affirmed by Charity Navigator, the nation’s largest and most reliable independent charity evaluator.

2018: Hear's to You
By Nadine Dehgan
From every one of us at Hearing Health Foundation (HHF)—scientists, staff, and volunteers—thank you for your support in 2017 and best wishes for 2018.
Because of folks like you, 2017 was an incredible year in which HHF:
Increased funding for Hearing Restoration Project & Emerging Research Grants by 35%
Launched Ménière's Disease Grants program to better understand & treat this condition
Began to fund critical Ototoxic Drug Research so cancer survivors won't have to live with hearing loss as a result of their life-saving treatments
Advocated for universal newborn hearing screenings, resulting in the passage of the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Act
Endorsed the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act, which will provide a more affordable and accessible treatment option for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss
Created Faces of Hearing Loss to show that hearing and balance disorders affect all of us
Received Top Ratings from all Charity Watchdogs including Consumer Reports and BBB
With hearts full of gratitude, we look forward to the work to be done in 2018—HHF’s 60th anniversary year.
With your help, HHF will continue to fund groundbreaking discoveries for the tens of millions of Americans with hearing loss and tinnitus—among whom is Ethan, 6, born with bilateral (in both ears) hearing loss and fortunate to receive early intervention.
Ethan is a first-grader who loves his sisters, soccer, reading, math, and martial arts. Until a cure for hearing loss is realized, he will be dependent on hearing aids or other treatments.
New scientific findings in 2018—empowered by you—can change the future of hearing loss for Ethan and so many others. I look forward to updating you on progress made.
