"It's important for us to help the children because they're the future of the world.....and if we neglect them, we won't have a good one.  This is a very special thing that we do for them, something they'll always remember us for.  Our reward is in the faces and smiles of each person as we help them hear again.  This is the best work we could ever do because it's helping people.  That's what life is all about.  We truly live through what we give, we live on into the future through our gifts back into our community and humanity."

Hearing loss separates people from the world around them.  It's a barrier that can be broken with your help.  Beyond statistics, specifications, and measurements is a dimension of hearing so simple, yet so profound.  It can be seen in the faces of those receiving our care. It is the sparkle in the eyes of the boy who, by wearing his ear "helpers" no longer considers himself disabled.  Or the confidence of a young woman, her handicap left far behind, as she is crowned Miss America.  It is in the countless numbers of people young and old, across an entire planet who hear better thanks to the Starkey Hearing Foundation.  Through your gifts, you too can experience what is only measureable in the heart.
