VOICE for children who are deaf and hard of hearing

VOICE for children who are deaf and hard of hearing VOICE for children who are deaf and hard of hearing helps children with hearing loss to maximize their listening and spoken language potential 🇨🇦

VOICE for deaf and hard of hearing children was established in the early ’60s by parents to offer support to other families with children who were deaf and hard of hearing. These Toronto parents wanted their children to be educated alongside their hearing peers in mainstream schools. By working collectively they succeeded in achieving this goal and had the tremendous benefit of sharing information and providing support to one another.

What are hearing aids?
Hearing aids are small devices that help people with hearing loss by making sounds louder and clearer. They include a microphone, an amplifier, and a tiny speaker that sends sound into the ear.
Modern hearing aids come in different styles, can connect wirelessly, and are chosen based on each person’s type of hearing loss and daily needs. 🎧💛

What Does It Mean to Be Deaf or Hard of Hearing?

Deaf and Hard of Hearing (D/HH) children have varying degrees of hearing loss.

Some use hearing technology, some use sign language, and some use both. Every child’s journey
is unique and worthy of celebration.

💙 Today is Microtia Awareness Day (November 9) 💙

Every year, children are born with Microtia — a difference in ear development that can affect hearing, communication, and confidence.
But with early identification, family support, and advocacy for access, these children can thrive in every part of life.

👂 Microtia often occurs in one ear (in about 80–90% of cases), yet it can still impact how children learn, listen, and connect.
That’s why VOICE works to ensure families never face this journey alone.
From diagnosis to early intervention, to finding the right hearing technology and school support — we’re here for families every step of the way.

💬 Today, we raise awareness for Microtia and stand beside parents, caregivers, and children — advocating for a world where every child, no matter how they hear, can reach their full potential.

Together, let’s make sure every child’s voice is heard. 💛
