Trusted and Transparent

During this season of giving, we’re proud to remind our community that Hearing Health Foundation consistently earns top ratings from trusted charity watchdogs.

These top ratings highlight our commitment to transparency and fiscal responsibility, to maximize every gift toward life-changing hearing and balance research.

Right now through December 31 at midnight ET, all gifts are matched dollar for dollar, so our impact on hearing and balance research goes twice as far.

Thank you for your trust and support of scientific discovery. 

PS: Please take a look at our impact over the past year, thanks to our community of supporters.
