Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and as families gather across Oklahoma, small changes can make a big difference for loved ones who are hard of hearing. šŸ¦ƒšŸ’›

A few simple ways to make conversations more inclusive this holiday:
• Face the person you’re talking to—visual cues help tremendously.
• Reduce background noise when possible (even turning the TV down helps).
• Speak clearly, not loudly.
• Rephrase instead of repeating if someone doesn’t understand the first time.
• Be patient—conversation fatigue is real for those with hearing loss.

This season is all about connection. Let’s make sure everyone at the table feels included and heard.

Today is National Rural Health Day, a reminder that access to quality healthcare—especially hearing healthcare—is still a challenge for many in rural communities.

Through our HoughAid program, we’re working to bridge that gap. By partnering with 16 audiologists across Oklahoma, we’ve been able to provide free or low-cost hearing care to adults in need—serving participants from 35 counties and counting.

Every person deserves the ability to hear connection, conversation, and community. šŸ’›

ā™»ļø Happy America Recycles Day! ā™»ļø

At Hough Ear Institute, recycling means more than saving materials—it means restoring connection and joy through sound.

Thanks to generous donors and our amazing partners at Sertoma, we’ve collected and recycled over 150 hearing aids!

Each one is refurbished and given a second life through our HoughAid program, helping Oklahomans who can’t afford hearing aids hear again. šŸ’™

Today, we’re honored to share from one of our own — Colonel (Ret.) Hal Hoxie, a proud U.S. Air Force veteran and dedicated Hough Ear Institute board member.

In this short video, Hal shares why he supports our mission and why helping veterans living with tinnitus and hearing loss — the #1 and #2 disabilities among veterans — is so close to his heart.

šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø Join Hal in supporting our Veterans Day campaign and help us bring the gift of hearing and hope to those who served.

Today, we honor all who have served our nation—especially the men and women who continue to live with the lasting effects of their service.

Hearing loss and tinnitus are the #1 and #2 disabilities among veterans, and this cause is deeply personal to us.

Our founder, Dr. Jack Hough, was a World War II field medic who received the Bronze Star for his courage and compassion on the battlefield.

His legacy continues through our mission to restore hearing and hope for all—especially for those who have sacrificed so much.

šŸŽ–ļø To all veterans: thank you for your service, your strength, and your sacrifice.

šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø Tomorrow is Veterans Day — and today is your last chance to double your impact for our veterans!

We’re still working toward our goal of raising $2,000, which will be matched by the Anderson Charitable Foundation for a total of $4,000!

Tinnitus and hearing loss are the #1 and #2 disabilities among veterans. Your gift helps support hearing research and our HoughAid program, which provides free hearing aids to low-income Oklahomans in need.

Every dollar makes a difference. Give in honor or memory of a veteran you love at https://ow.ly/JmFS50XpsBX šŸ’™

šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø This Veterans Day, we honor those who served by serving those who sacrificed.

Hearing loss and tinnitus are the #1 and #2 disabilities among U.S. veterans, yet thousands struggle without the care they deserve.

At Hough Ear Institute, we are committed to changing that — through cutting-edge research and through programs like HoughAid, which provides FREE hearing aids to low-income adults right here in Oklahoma.

Your support ensures our veterans are not left in silence.
šŸŽ–ļø Give today and restore hope: https://ow.ly/qFQH50XkFjh

Together, we can honor their service — one restored conversation, one restored connection at a time. šŸ’™

Happy ! 🌟

At Hough Ear Institute, we believe the next generation of scientists and innovators are right here in Oklahoma! Through our Hough Science Camps, we’ve already helped more than 100 middle school students discover the excitement of science through hands-on experiments and career exploration.

Each summer, we partner with local schools to empower students—especially those from low-income backgrounds—to dream big about their futures in STEM. šŸ§ŖšŸ”¬

We can’t wait to see what these young minds accomplish next! šŸ’”

We’re making progress! Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised $550 toward our $2,000 Veterans Day goal — and every dollar is being matched by the Anderson Charitable Foundation! šŸ’Ŗ

That means your gift goes twice as far in helping provide hearing aids to Oklahoma veterans and low-income adults through our HoughAid program.

There’s still time to give before Veterans Day and help us reach our goal!

šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø From the beaches of Iwo Jima to the labs of Hough Ear Institute — Dr. Jack Hough’s legacy lives on.

As a young field medic in World War II, Dr. Hough received the Bronze Star for his courage under fire at Iwo Jima — risking his life to save others. He left that battlefield knowing God had a purpose for him, and that purpose became restoring hearing and hope to countless lives.

Today, his mission continues through our work — and especially through HoughAid, which provides free hearing aids to low-income adults in Oklahoma.

Tinnitus and hearing loss are the #1 and #2 disabilities among veterans, and your support helps us serve those who served us. šŸ’™
