CENTER FOR HEARING AND COMMUNICATION

2018 ANNUAL REPORTJULY 1, 2017 – JUNE 30, 2018

The CHC Difference

Steve PeikinPrresident, Board of Directors

My connection to the Center for

Hearing and Communication (CHC) is

a deeply personal one. Over 20 years

ago, my wife, Jodi, and I found our-

selves in CHC’s offices, holding our

then six-week old daughter. When Ali

was diagnosed with profound hear-

ing loss, we were devastated. And

lost. We had no idea what to do next.

And we had no idea what the future

would hold.

But not for long. At CHC, we found

world-class speech and language

pathologists, audiologists, technol-

ogists, psychologists—indeed an

entire team committed to providing

everything Ali (and we) needed—all

under one roof. And that team of

professionals ensured that Ali was

able to develop the skills to reach her

fullest potential.

Now, 20 years later, Ali is a rising

senior at Harvard where she majors

in history, works in theatre produc-

tion and is blessed with a large circle

of close friends. Finding out your

child is deaf is an overwhelming

shock. But CHC was there to help.

And with generous support from

the philanthropic community, CHC

is here to help people of all ages

with all degrees of hearing loss.

Less than 50% of our operational

revenue comes from client services.

The remaining gap is supported by

fundraising. It is only with contri-

butions from individuals, donors,

foundations, and corporations that

CHC families affected by hearing loss

receive the care needed to make a

meaningful and lasting impact.

To all of our donors, we offer deep

gratitude for enabling us to pro-

vide these quality-of-life enhancing

services. It would not be possible

without you.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

“When Ali was diagnosed with profound hearing loss, we were devastated. But CHC was there

to help. And CHC is here to help people of all ages with all degrees of hearing loss.”

Partnership

Laurie Hanin, PhD, CCC-AExecutive Director

In the rapidly evolving industry

of hearing health care, technology

seems to be changing almost on a

daily basis. At CHC, I’m proud to say

that our staff stays at the forefront

of innovation, but I’m equally proud

to be able to say that some things

never change at CHC. What has

remained the same over these

many, many years? Our core values—

innovation, teamwork, commitment,

integrity, inclusiveness, and commu-

nity partnership.

These six values are the driving force

behind the CHC difference. It’s why

clients come to us and why they keep

coming back, year after year. It’s why

our client satisfaction rate is far

above industry standards and why

our hearing aid return rate is far

below. And, importantly, it’s why

very generous funders are confident

in their decision to support CHC.

I am exceptionally proud of the work

we accomplish and the talented staff

that makes it happen day after day.

It’s gratifying to provide such mean-

ingful value to the community we

serve on both a local and national

level. As I reflect on the past year

and look forward to future advance-

ments, I know that our core values

will continue to be what inspires our

staff to provide transformative clinical

services to all those with hearing loss

who need them.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S LETTER

The CHC Difference

I N N O V A T I O N

Experienced audiologists with unparalleled

technical know-how apply

advanced technology to maximize hearing.

Ellen Lafargue, AuD, CCC-A Co-Director, Shelley and Steven Einhorn Audiology and Communication Centers

Every day, audiologists at CHC’s Shelley and Steven Einhorn Audiology Center fit babies, children and adults with amplifica-tion, so it’s imperative that we keep abreast of technological advancements in the field.

How do we stay fluent when there are so many devices and apps to consider? We reg-ularly meet with hearing aid manufacturers, attend research meetings and symposiums, and collaborate with cutting-edge technology companies that enhance communication access, like Apple and InnoCaption. Since no two hearing losses are alike, we continually strive to find the hearing solution that will work best for each individual client.

Science, though, is only one part of the equation. We also practice the art of listening closely to our clients and getting to know their unique hearing and communication needs. That’s essential to ensure we’re using just the right device to maximize hearing and keeping clients connected to the world around them.

“ I LOVE my hearing aid and it’s changed my life. It’s no challenge to wear it all the time as was true for my previous device. I can’t thank you enough.” Client new to CHC

T E A M W O R K

A multidisciplinary team of experts

offers comprehensive care and better

outcomes . . . all under one roof.

Elizabeth Ying, MA, CCC-SLPCo-Director, Shelley and Steven Einhorn Audiology and Communication Centers

Underlying the success of the pediatric program at CHC’s Shelley and Steven Einhorn Communication Center is the collaboration between our speech-language pathologists and the child’s physician, audi-ologist, teacher and, in certain cases, mental health counselor. Most important, though, is the partnership between the speech pathol-ogist and the child’s parents, caregivers and even the extended family.

Communication therapy is individualized to address each child’s communicative demands and to coach the people interacting with the child so they are empowered to manage amplification devices and elicit the child’s optimal understanding and use of spoken language in a variety of listening situations.

“Once we got here [CHC], and once we met the team, it was a weight off my shoulders. I felt like there were people who were going to get my child to where he needs to be.” CHC parent

Family-centered care that goes

beyond the test booth to

create a supportive community.

Dana Selznick, M.A., M.Ed.Coordinator, Family Resource Center

CHC’s Family Resource Center is committed to providing a supportive community for fami-lies coping with the challenges of hearing loss. It is our goal that parents, grandparents, young professionals and children feel they have a safe place where they can form meaningful connections.

Our commitment goes beyond the testing booth and the therapy room. We strive to offer all the support children need for daily integra-tion into their social communities. We achieve this through diverse programs including our Mentor Program, parent/child recreational events, ongoing rapid response and resources for schools and families, and parent workshops targeting a variety of “hot topics.”

Through all of this, we are committed to going beyond the diagnosis and providing our vast network of care.

“The staff at CHC and their Family Resource Center are friendly, fun and committed to everyone that walks in their door. They are such a blessing in our lives and everyone whose lives they touch.” CHC parent

I N T E G R I T Y

CHC has no allegiance to any particular

hearing aid company. We simply recommend

what’s best for you.

Ellen Lafargue, AuD, CCC-A Director, Berelson Hearing Technology Center

As a trusted nonprofit since 1910, CHC is widely known for its integrity. CHC’s Berelson Hearing Technology Center has no allegiance to any particular hearing aid company. Our audiologists are never incentivized to favor one brand over another. Instead, we simply recommend the hearing technology that’s best for each individual based purely on clinical reasons, never financial ones.

We make follow-up services on hearing aids as easy as possible for our clients by offering both walk-in services and scheduled appoint-ments. What’s great is that this policy tends to keep clients more engaged in their hearing journey and yields better outcomes.

“ Through ten and more years of experience, I have found CHC superior in every regard. The audiological help and advice I get from them is informed, informative, insightful, attentive, and reassuring.” Client new to CHC

I N C L U S I V E N E S S

At the Baker Family Emotional Health and Wellness Center, we embrace all of CHC’s core values, especially inclusiveness.

In creating and building a home for our clients, inclusiveness forms the foundation of our ser-vices. We endeavor for this home to be a safe and compassionate environment, a nurturing place where clients relate and journey together with their therapist.

Our clinical staff, fluent in American Sign Lan-guage, offers culturally sensitive treatment and the opportunity for a unique connection through shared language and understanding.

Services available to people

with all degrees of hearing loss,

regardless of mode of communication

or financial situation.

“[CHC] has just been a healing place. I can’t say enough of how it’s helped me to find my voice. I’m a better person for having come here.” CHC client

Community outreach programs provide

those in underserved neighborhoods

access to urgently needed information

and hearing health services.

Carolyn SternManager, Center for Hearing and Aging

Partnership is the core value that most inspires the work we do at CHC’s Center for Hearing and Aging, a vital resource addressing the hearing health needs of older adults living in New York City’s underserved neighborhoods.

Targeted programming directed to at-risk seniors and their caregivers provides education to raise awareness of the harmful effects of hearing loss on emotional and physical health and high-quality hearing health care through our mobile audiological unit and in-office services.

The message is loud and clear: When older adults treat their hearing loss and receive patient and empathetic care, they stay connected to people and the world around them and experience better health, a more positive outlook and greater independence.

“A big thank you for your time, energy and wonderful information presented to our staff. [It] will be incorporated into our practice when working with our older adult population.” Social Worker

Margaret (Peggy) BrownRegional Executive Director

Homebound seniors in Broward County have given H.E.A.R. for Seniors (Hearing Loss, Educa-tion, Advocacy and Resources) an overwhelm-ingly positive response since the program launched in 2016.

At-risk seniors participating in the program receive in-home visits by a case manager and specialist who provide hearing screenings, in-stall assistive listening devices, create strategies to improve communication, recommend ser-vices and provide individual behavioral health counseling, if needed. Educational/instructional services are also made available to caregivers.

This and other CHC programs for Broward County seniors have proven to be highly effective in helping alleviate feelings of social isolation and improving quality of life.

“She [my Mom] is very limited and alone and has not been able to get the assistance she has needed to achieve this communication technology until working with you.” Daughter of program participant.

T R A N S F O R M I N GL I V E S

We are deeply grateful for the philanthropic generosity of those who supported CHC’s fundraising events throughout the year. In doing so, you made our quality-of-life enhancing programs and services possible.
