About The Starkey Hearing Foundation:
The Starkey Hearing Foundation is striving to change the
social consciousness of hearing and hearing loss
prevention. Hearing loss affects one in 10 Americans, and
63 million children worldwide, yet many do not have access
to the hearing devices that can help correct that
disability. The Foundation now 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 more than 500,000 hearing aids to
people in need and is striving to achieve its goal of
distributing over one million free hearing aids in this
decade. In addition to giving the gift of hearing, the
Foundation also works diligently to promote ‘safe hearing’
through two unique programs - the recently launched
Listen Carefully campaign, aimed at preventing hearing
loss among teens and young people; and the Sound Matters™
program, which with the help of partners such as Best Buy,
the Grammy
Foundation and others within the music and entertainment
industry, seeks to raise social awareness of healthy
hearing, prevention of hearing damage, and regular hearing
check-ups. For more information on the Starkey Hearing
Foundation, visit

Starkey Hearing Foundation So the World May Hear gala
successfully raised $7 million, every dollar of which
contributed to helping change the lives of people around the
world.
