Ways to Get Involved with Some of the Larger
Hearing Health Charities
You would like to help people struggling with hearing
loss, but the choice of charities is tremendous. Just a
few of the factors to consider are the cause itself, the
trustworthiness of the organization, and how the
resources are used. Here are a few hearing-health
specific charities you may want to consider as part of
your search.
Starkey Hearing Foundation – Starkey Hearing
Foundation reaches an international audience with its
3 main services programs named Hear Now, Listen
Carefully, and Hearing Aid Recycling. The Hear Now program focuses on providing hearing
aids to those who cannot afford them on their own. The Listen Carefully Program is provides
education to youth in schools about the dangers of loud music and headphone use. The
Hearing Aid Recycling does exactly what the name implies. It accepts donations of used
hearing aids and refurbishes them for people who cannot afford a new one. For the most up-
to-date information of the Starkey Hearing Foundation’s activities and current needs visit
their website at www.starkeyhearingfoundation.org.
Hearing Health Foundation – Hearing Health Foundation was founded in the 1950s by
Collette Baker Ramsey to help serve people with hearing loss. This organization fosters
research to treat and cure hearing loss and promotes the prevention of hearing conditions
through public education. For example, the largest research project at the moment focuses
on cures for tinnitus. If you wish to contribute to Hearing Health Foundation, there are
several ways to help. Money is always the easiest donation for a charity to accept. This can
be in the form of a one-time donation, monthly donations or gift of stock. If you prefer to be
involved in a more hands-on way, you can share with them your personal experience with
hearing loss or tinnitus, participate in fundraisers, or offer to name one of their research
grants. For the most up-to-date information of the Foundation’s activities and current needs
visit their website at www.hearinghealthfoundation.org.
