Program areas at Starkey Hearing Foundation
International program we support Hearing healthcare missions around the world and operate sustainable community based Hearing health partnerships in 64 countries working with national governments, regional governments, public health leaders and leading ngos. The Foundation provides Hearing health training for community health workers, allied health professionals, and members of the general public. Our programs range from three-day introductory basic education opportunities to full-year, accredited, professional ear and Hearing health training at the Starkey Hearing institute in zambia, seeking to address the dire shortage of Hearing healthcare professionals in africa. The curriculum includes the hands-on intensive wfa community-based Hearing healthcare program.
Domestic programwe also provide Hearing health care to low-income americans. The Foundation partners with local audiologists who volunteer their professional services to serve patients. If such an audiologist determines that a patient needs Hearing devices and the patient qualifies financially for the program, the audiologist works with us to get the proper Hearing devices for the patient and the audiologist then fits them to the patient. This program is provided at no cost to individuals who meet certain financial criteria. As part of our domestic program, the Foundation also collects used Hearing devices and repurposes them for use in future international missions.
In 2023 the board of directors of Starkey Hearing Foundation approved a transformative new goal: three world-class Hearing health training program and centers up and running in the developing world by 2027. This bold new vision reflects a shift in strategy for the Foundation from direct service to systems change through education, and capacity building. In may 2016, the Foundation made history with the opening of Starkey Hearing institute in lusaka, zambia, with one goal in mind: to help address the dire shortage of Hearing healthcare professionals in the region. It is the success of the institute in zambia that informs the Foundation's commitment to launch two more Hearing healthcare training programs including one in philippines to support the asia pacific region and one in el salvador to build capacity in the latin america and caribbean region in the next five years. Our Hearing health training program includes the Foundation's community-based wide frequency audibility (wfa) model.
Provides Hearing healthcare training, education and assistance to people in low to middle income countries across the globe.
