Hearing The Call

12/18/2025

As we look back on an incredible year, we’re filled with gratitude for the lives touched through Hearing the Call.

From local communities here at home to outreach clinics around the world, 2025 was filled with hearing smiles, restored connections, and powerful reminders of why access to hearing healthcare matters. This impact is only possible because of our volunteers, partners, donors, and audiologists who give so generously.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Meet Joy, a young girl from Zambia who didn’t realize she had hearing loss after a head injury. Her friends thought she was ignoring them, even being mean. But Joy simply couldn’t hear them.

At a Hearing the Call clinic, she was tested and fitted with hearing aids. And for the first time in years, she heard again. Her smile said it all. Now, she’s back in school, dreaming of becoming an engineer and a future once silent is now full of sound and possibility.

When you join a trip, you help rewrite stories like Joy’s… One life-changing sound at a time.

For years, Daniel struggled with hearing loss. Simple conversations with his family became exhausting. When they couldn’t afford new hearing aids, hope started to fade.

Then they found Red Maple Audiology in Turner, Maine. Through the clinic’s give-back program, Daniel came in for a consultation and left hearing his loved ones again.

Some of these patients are part of the , an organization dedicated to teaching practical skills that empower men and women in their community to start and grow their own businesses. Many members of the foundation have struggled to earn an income due to hearing loss, but through the program, they’re learning to sew and sell handmade products such as purses and bags.

Not only did they receive the Gift of Hearing from Hearing The Call and Oticon, but they also shared their talents and craftsmanship with our team of volunteers .
