A longtime supporter of the Starkey Hearing Foundation…

…this was Nancy Sideri’s first mission.

“There’s so much emotion attached to hearing. Seeing the wide-eyed

amazement of a child hearing his own voice for the first time to the parent

seeing their child’s react to hearing for the first time. I am so honored

having been asked to participate and to work with the most amazing hearing

specialists in the world.”

Founded by Bill Austin, The Starkey Hearing Foundation, “So the World May Hear,” is the global leader in hearing health care and is striving to change

the social consciousness of hearing. Each year, the Foundation delivers more

than 100,000 hearing aids through hearing missions in countries stretching

from the U.S. to Vietnam.

Since 2000, the Foundation has supplied nearly 500,000 hearing aids to

people in need and is striving to achieve its goal to distribute more than

million free hearing aids in this decade.

“These children have so much talent and ability, by giving them the gift of

hearing, we can help them maximize those abilities and have a productive

life,” said Bill Austin, CEO and Founder of the Starkey Hearing Foundation.

“They are our future and we want to make sure it’s a good one.”

Founder and CEO Bill Austin attended the Clinton Global Initiative, a summit

bringing together key foundation leaders focused on Global

Humanitarianism, earlier this week in New York as a guest of Former

President Bill Clinton.

Additionally, Austin recently received the Azteca Eagle Award from the

President of Mexico in honor of the great humanitarian efforts of the Starkey

Hearing Foundation. This is the highest honor paid to a non-citizen.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Senator Ted Kennedy and Bill and Melinda Gates are the only other U.S. citizens to have received this prestigious

award.
