Your commitment to Hearing Health Foundation (HHF)’s hearing and balance research this holiday season inspires us immensely. The research discoveries that you are making possible put better health in greater reach for millions of people.

We are especially thankful to those who generously gave to our groundbreaking science on Giving Tuesday, December 3, the biggest global movement of online giving, and the start of the giving season.

The giving season — and the opportunity to make a 2019 tax-deductible donation — continues, with just a few more days remaining.

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.

Your generosity influences the health of millions of people, like Nicolle, who lives with Ménière's disease (hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo), and for whom better treatments and cures are urgently needed.

“Even though people like me may look fine on the outside, we are actually dealing with terrible symptoms that are extremely debilitating, both physically and mentally,” Nicolle explains.

A gift of any size today, one of the final days of 2019, will provide top-tier scientists with the resources needed to combat the conditions that affect Nicolle and so many other individuals.

You can be sure your investment in hearing and balance research is a wise one. HHF has maintained high ratings from all charity watchdogs, and pledges to use your gift in the most efficient way.
