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.
Combined Federal Campaign: Show Some Love
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.
Retired Hockey Star Mark Messier Fundraises for Hearing Research
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.”
Katelyn and Solenne
Sisters Katelyn, 12, and Solenne, 11, of Connecticut, are among the tens of millions of individuals who benefit from advances in hearing loss research. Both girls were born with severe to profound hearing loss but showed no benefit from hearing aids. They have both since received cochlear implants (CIs).
What You Made Possible in 2018
2018 was HHF’s 60th anniversary year, and in celebration of turning “60 years strong,” the report also catalogues some of the notable accomplishments that materialized because of the ambitious vision of our late founder, Collette Ramsey Baker.
ChEARs to Our Hearing
To extend our celebration of World Hearing Day (March 3), Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) has partnered with the innovative Class I hearing aid manufacturer Eargo to raise funds for hearing loss research and awareness.
It's Good to Hear: A March 3 Call to Action
Good to Hear aligns with the celebration of World Hearing Day―the World Health Organization (WHO)’s annual March 3 campaign to raise awareness of hearing loss care and prevention. On a day when all eyes will already be on our ears, HHF is determined to engage as many supporters as possible to empower scientific progress.
You Can Lead the Way
By Col. John Dillard, U.S. Army (Retired)
Folks like you are the reason Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) has just completed its 60th anniversary year of groundbreaking work toward better treatments and permanent cures for hearing loss and tinnitus. Your donations make it possible.
Tinnitus and hearing loss, respectively, are the number one and number two disabilities reported by returning American military personnel.
Thank you for everything you do.
Living with noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus following 26 years of service in the U.S. Army, I strongly share your desire for more scientific developments — both to restore hearing and to prevent its loss.
Every person serving on our Board of Directors is also connected to a hearing disorder in some way and shares our passion for progress. It is coming. As each year passes we learn more and more about key processes in the brain and auditory system.
We’re grateful for these discoveries that bring us closer to hearing regeneration in adult mice (as human proxies for now), and toward new treatments for tinnitus, Ménière's disease, and related conditions. But we know more must be accomplished for all of us to enjoy a better quality of life.
Your generosity can make possible the discoveries we — our veterans, our parents, our children, our spouses, our friends — urgently need.
Please, if you are able, give today to HHF to fund more innovative scientists in 2019-2020 and accelerate much-needed treatments and cures.
HHF will direct 100% of your gift toward the program your choose — Hearing Restoration Project (HRP), Emerging Research Grants (ERG), Ménière's Disease Grants (MDG), or Education. Thank you for your consideration and for being part of our mission.
With Your Support for Hearing Research, We Can Do Great Work Together
I’m thrilled we are moving toward better treatments and cures for hearing and balance conditions — together. I was diagnosed with a hearing loss at age 4 and with Usher syndrome (combined hearing loss and vision loss with balance difficulties) as an adult.
You Are the Reason
By Elizabeth Keithley, Ph.D.
Your partnership with Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) is fundamental to new treatments and cures for hearing and balance conditions.
I am so grateful you are part of our mission—which, as a hearing scientist, I have always embraced.
Support from you creates new possibilities for people of all ages, including brothers Anthony, Andersen, and Ayden, all born with bilateral hearing loss.
The boys wear hearing aids and are happy, social, and active students in a mainstream school.
They’re fortunate to have a mother who sacrifices for their hearing health, including five-hour round trip drives to their audiologist.
I am pleased to have witnessed so much extraordinary work funded by HHF that will better the lives of so many people just like these boys.
And I know someday, hearing restoration— which already exists in birds, fish, and young mice — will be possible for millions of folks who have hearing loss.
Progress cannot happen without you.
Please, if you are able, give today to bring us closer to realizing that dream.
Your generosity is urgently needed to accelerate new treatments and cures. We appreciate your consideration to give to HHF’s life-changing work.
Thank you and happy holidays!
