Going for GOLD — and making a difference far beyond the track!
As Elana Meyers Taylor heads into her fifth and final Olympic Games, she continues to inspire not only through her strength as a world-class bobsledder, but through her powerful advocacy for the deaf and disability communities.
Elana is a proud mom to two incredible boys — Nico (5), who wears cochlear implants and also has Down syndrome, and Noah (3), who communicates using American Sign Language (ASL). Her family’s journey reminds us that there is no one-size-fits-all path — communication can look many different ways, and every child deserves access, opportunity, and support.
At the Dallas Hearing Foundation, we love celebrating families who embrace technology, language, and individuality to help their children thrive. 💙
Join us in cheering on Elana as she goes for gold — and for continuing to use her voice to advocate for inclusion and accessibility for all.

Whether you are a child hearing a parent’s voice, a teen finding their place, or an adult reconnecting with the world around them… YOU are why we do what we do.
Join us in spreading the love today by sharing your photos, tagging us, and celebrating the moments that matter most.

🏈✨ Access looks different for everyone — and that’s something worth celebrating.
We loved this powerful short film featuring football at the New Mexico School for the Deaf — especially the pre-game moment with a young athlete signing with confidence. Whether someone communicates through sign language, spoken language, hearing aids, cochlear implants, or a mix of communication styles, what matters most is opportunity, connection, and community.
At Dallas Hearing Foundation, we support individuals and families across the entire deaf and hard of hearing spectrum. There isn’t just one path — and seeing athletes thrive reminds us how important access and inclusion are both on and off the field. 💙

👏 Thank you to Southwestern Illinois College for sharing this meaningful look at teamwork and communication.

✨ Throwback Moment… and WOW, how far we’ve come! ✨
This photo takes us back to the early days of the DHF Teen Squad — and today, that same incredible group has grown into Hear to Lead, a youth-led leadership community shaping the future of advocacy, connection, and confidence. 💙
It’s amazing to look at all these baby faces and realize that several of these young leaders are graduating this year! Watching their growth, friendships, and leadership has been one of the greatest joys for our DHF family.
Now, Hear to Lead is being led by the group, and we cannot wait to see the incredible things they will accomplish in 2026.
📅 Join us every 3rd Saturday of the month!
Our next meeting is Saturday, February 21 at the Plano Police Department, where we’ll be hosting a roundtable to plan some exciting events for the year ahead.

💙🐷 Representation matters—and we LOVE seeing it! 🐷💙
On a recent episode of Peppa Pig, little brother George is discovered to have hearing loss and gets a hearing aid. Seeing a beloved children’s show normalize hearing differences and amplification is such a powerful moment for families everywhere.
For kids who are deaf or hard of hearing, moments like this say: you’re seen, you’re normal, and you belong. For parents, it opens the door to important conversations and helps reduce fear and stigma around hearing devices.
At Dallas Hearing Foundation, we’re big believers that visibility builds confidence—and we’re cheering every time hearing health shows up on screen in a positive way. 👏💙
Have you seen this episode? What did you think?

A quick perspective from the Deaf & Hard of Hearing community 💙
If someone who is deaf or hard of hearing says “What?”—it’s not rudeness. It’s reality.
Even with hearing aids or cochlear implants, listening takes intense focus and mental energy. Our brains are constantly working to interpret sound, filter noise, and make sense of speech.
If we’re already deep in a task, it may take a moment to shift gears and tune in. Something as simple as getting our attention before speaking can make communication clearer, easier, and far more respectful for everyone involved.
This kind of insight helps build understanding—and understanding builds connection.
✨ For thoughtful, real-world insight from someone who is both a pediatric audiologist and a person with hearing loss, we highly recommend following Mama Hu Hears. Her perspective is powerful, practical, and deeply relatable. https://mamahuhears.com/hu.hears
