Flashback Friday (on a Saturday!) — another beautiful moment from last year’s outreach work. Every smile, hug, and joyful reaction is a chapter in the story of hope we’re writing together.

02/19/2026

One of Hearing the Call’s core goals is sustainability — both here in the U.S. and around the world.

At home, we work to support individuals and families who fall through the cracks of traditional healthcare systems, helping them access basic, dignified hearing care they might otherwise never receive. Internationally, we partner with local clinicians and organizations to build long-term solutions, not one-time fixes, so care continues long after an outreach trip ends.

Sustainability means empowering communities, strengthening local systems, and ensuring hearing healthcare is available today and tomorrow — everywhere it’s needed.

Hearing loss doesn’t always show up suddenly. It often starts quietly — turning up the volume, asking people to repeat themselves, avoiding conversations, or feeling completely drained after social interactions. Awareness is the first step toward staying connected.

If you or someone you love has been putting off getting help because you think you can’t afford it, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep waiting. Options exist, and support may be closer than you think.

At Hearing the Call, we help remove financial barriers so individuals and families can access dignified, quality hearing care. Reach out to us. One conversation could be the first step back to connection.

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

Today, we celebrate love in all its forms — the kind that brings hope, restores connection, and opens the door to new beginnings. Because of your support, moments that matter most are being heard again.

Somewhere today, a mother heard her child say “I love you” for the first time. A grandparent caught the laughter around the dinner table. A couple shared a quiet moment without asking, “Can you repeat that?”

Thank you for standing with Hearing the Call and helping make these life-changing moments possible — not just on Valentine’s Day, but every day.

February is Heart Month — and Your Hearing is Part of the Story

Most people know heart health matters… but did you know it can also impact your hearing?

Healthy blood flow is essential for every part of the body — including the delicate structures of the inner ear. When the cardiovascular system is stressed, it can increase the risk of hearing loss, tinnitus, and difficulty understanding speech.

Strong heart. Strong hearing. Stronger connections.
This month is the perfect reminder to take care of both.

✔️ Stay active
✔️ Eat heart-healthy foods
✔️ Manage blood pressure & cholesterol
✔️ Don’t ignore hearing changes — get checked

Your heart health and hearing health work together. Caring for one helps protect the other — and helps you stay connected to the people and moments that matter most.

Flashback Friday

Today we’re looking back at one of the most powerful moments from last year — a reminder of just how life-changing a single moment of hearing can be.

Two Daughters. One Impossible Choice… until Hearing the Call stepped in.

During a clinic in Brazil, a mother brought her young daughter to receive hearing aids. When the devices were turned on, her face lit up with a smile that said everything. As our audiologist talked with the mother, she quietly shared that her other daughter also had hearing loss — but she thought she had to choose. She didn’t know both girls could receive help.

The next morning, she returned with her second daughter. We fit her with hearing aids, and her joy filled the room. The mother stood there overwhelmed — not with worry this time, but with relief. She didn’t have to choose between her children.

Both daughters could hear. Both could thrive.
And those two smiles captured exactly what Hearing the Call is all about.

Our global partners are the heart of sustainable hearing care.

Today, we’re proud to spotlight Integra A.C. and Bimbo in Mexico — incredible organizations and leaders who make long-term impact possible. Through their commitment to year-round support, follow-up care, and local expertise, hearing care doesn’t end when a trip does.

Because of partners like these, individuals and families continue to receive the care, education, and connection they need long after our teams return home. This is what sustainable, community-driven impact looks like.

Welcome to February! 💚

This month, we’re shining a light on the voices that matter most — the individuals, families, and communities who inspire the mission of Hearing the Call every single day. From local neighborhoods to global outreach, each story reminds us that hearing care is about more than sound — it’s about connection, dignity, and belonging.

Together, with the support of our volunteers, partners, and donors, we continue bringing the Sound of Hope to places where hearing healthcare is needed most. Here’s to a month focused on impact, compassion, and the power of being heard.

Empower Local Partners

One of our core pillars is Empower Local Partners — because sustainable care starts with strong hands and strong hearts right in the community.

We train, equip, and support local hearing care providers so they can serve year-round, offer follow-up care, and build a future where people no longer have to wait years for help.

Empowered partners build empowered communities.
And that is how lasting impact begins.

Give the Gift of Hearing

Hearing the Call is a nonprofit organization that provides the “gift of hearing” (hearing healthcare & hearing aids) to the underserved worldwide.

Imagine having no access to hearing healthcare or sign language... This is the case of 466 million people worldwide — of which 34 million are children.

In the United States, untreated hearing loss leads to isolation, depression, and lower earning potential. In many other countries it can lead to ostracization, little or no education, and physical abuse.

Hearing the Call provides opportunities for audiologists, ENT doctors, students, and volunteers to travel to countries and areas such as Jordan, Palestine, Zambia, South Africa, Guatemala, Ecuador, and more to help us bring the gift of hearing to the less fortunate.
