Ears To Hear

Helping children diagnosed with hearing loss. The right hearing aids can be vital to their development of spoken language and educational success. 

See some of the Help Kids Hear success stories below!

Cailey's Story
I met 7-year-old Cailey after she was involved in an automobile accident. Due to her injuries from the accident, she had a very severe conductive hearing loss that could not be repaired with surgery. Therefore, she had to rely on hearing aids. Help Kids Hear, Inc. was able to step in and provide Cailey a brand-new set of Starkey evolve 2400 smart hearing aids and she’s been hearing at a normal level ever since!
Liam's Story
Liam came to Help Kids Hear, Inc. after being rejected for hearing aids from Medicaid due to his parents’ income. But sadly, their income simply wasn’t enough to cover the purchase of a set of costly hearing aids. Our charity was able to provide Liam with a brand-new set of fully digital hearing aids that use artificial intelligence and deep neural networks to help process sound.  These hearing aids gave him the ability to hear his friends clearly once again and gave his parents peace of mind that Liam’s health needs were met without causing them financial worry.
Jennifer's Story
A patient from Clear Ear Medical reached out to us because he had a granddaughter who was suffering from mild to moderate hearing loss due to an infection. Help Kids Hear, Inc. was able to fit her with custom hearing aids, using some of the world’s most advanced technology to restore her hearing back to near-perfect levels.
