Check out this recent new story featured on ZNBC – Zambia’s largest television service provider showcasing the Starkey Hearing Institute and it’s great work happening in Zambia.
A proud mother. A joyful son. A moment made possible through access to hearing healthcare.
This is the power of the WFA® Community-Based Hearing Healthcare Model.
By bringing hearing healthcare closer to the communities where people live, the WFA model reduces barriers to care and creates more opportunities for connection, confidence, and joy.
Because everyone deserves the opportunity to hear the moments that matter most.
Every child experiences the world a little differently.
For Nolan, one unforgettable day opened up a whole new way of exploring it.
At four years old, Nolan received hearing aids for the first time. Almost immediately, he began experimenting with sound, using his voice, stomping his feet, and laughing with each new discovery.
He wasn’t simply hearing the world around him. He was discovering all the ways he could be part of it, creating his own sounds one at a time.
For his parents, watching Nolan explore this new world of sound brought joy, surprise, and a sense of possibility for everything still ahead.
Access to hearing healthcare should never be limited by geography.
Across Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Africa, graduates of Starkey Hearing Institute are embedded in the communities they serve. They live there. They work there. They understand the culture, the language, and the unique challenges their neighbors face.
Because they are trusted members of their communities, they can identify hearing loss earlier, educate families about the signs of hearing loss, and connect people to care before hearing loss creates greater barriers to communication, education, employment, and social connection.
Early identification changes lives. It gives children the opportunity to develop speech and language during the most critical years of growth. It helps students thrive in school, supports adults in the workplace, and allows older adults to remain connected to their families and communities.
Every graduate strengthens the local hearing healthcare workforce, helping ensure that care is available not just today, but for generations to come.
The future of hearing healthcare is built by local professionals embedded in the communities they serve.
