One of the largest hearing charities worldwide, Starkey Hearing Foundation was founded by William F. Austin in 1984. His goal of promoting the importance of hearing and hearing healthcare can be summed up in five simple yet powerful words: “So the World May Hear”.
Millions around the globe are affected by hearing loss, but many do not have access to the devices that can help them. Starkey Hearing Foundation aims to change that, and between the years 2000 and 2010, it donated over 500,000 hearing aids to people in need in more than 80 countries, including the US, India, South Africa, Panama, and Vietnam.
For this decade, Starkey Hearing Foundation has made a commitment to deliver one million hearing aids to the hearing impaired with the help of its volunteers and benefactors or “Hearing Angels”. The organization is also passionate about raising awareness on healthy hearing and loss prevention through its Sound Matters and Listen Carefully initiatives.
