Education is key to a bright future, especially for deaf and hard-of-hearing children in communities around the world. If deafness is unaddressed, they often face:
➡️ discrimination
➡️ barriers to education
➡️ high unemployment
➡️ marginalization
For families with children facing the reality of deafness or hearing loss, cochlear implants can be a lifesaver. Our mission is to bring innovative hearing solutions to families in need, giving them access to technologies that can improve their health and enhance their quality of life.
In India, where many families are facing the challenges of deafness and hearing loss, we are working to create more access to cochlear implant technology for those who need it most. Take for example Abhiraj and Auyushi, who are both siblings that were born deaf. Earlier this year, we helped activate their cochlear implants and now their looking forward to starting their education.
Access to education can change all of that. It's crucial in breaking the cycle of social isolation, loneliness, and stigma that affects too many deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to hear, and our work in India is just one piece of a larger mission to bring hearing to life for families around the world.
