With the help of advanced hearing technologies (i.e. digital hearing aids & cochlear implants), even profoundly deaf children can listen and speak. With appropriate intervention, these children can do everything else that a child, who was born hearing, will do.

Many people simply aren't aware of what is possible for today's deaf child with the appropriate technology and intervention, and we've made it our mission to ask people to reconsider the standards we hold for these children. We know children with hearing loss have the potential to do and be anything they choose.

Today's deaf child can play musical instruments, speak the words “I love you," sing songs with their classmates, succeed in mainstream schools, and more. They have dreams of becoming astronauts, teachers, engineers, doctors, and musicians – just like all other children. Imagine what is possible for these children if each of them had access to the technology and services that can help them achieve their dreams!
