What a joy to welcome the Starkey Hearing Institute El Salvador Class of 2026 to the Starkey Hearing Foundation family.

This new class of 43 students is beginning a powerful journey of training, learning, and hands-on experience as they prepare to become hearing healthcare professionals serving their communities with compassion and skill. 👂💙

This year marks an exciting milestone. For the first time, students from Guatemala are joining the program alongside students from El Salvador. Together, they represent a growing movement of locally trained professionals expanding access to hearing healthcare across Latin America.

By growing our student body and strengthening regional training, we are building long-term capacity, supporting sustainable care, and empowering the next generation of hearing healthcare leaders to reach more people than ever before.

Sometimes the most powerful care starts with understanding.

In a community in Ghana, 100 individuals took part in ear and hearing screenings through Starkey Hearing Foundation’s WFA Community-Based Hearing Program. Along with otoscopy exams, wax removal that often brought immediate relief, and hearing assessments, there was something just as important happening: education.

For many, it was the first time they had ever seen their own eardrum. Seeing how delicate it was made the message about safe ear care click. It turned hearing health from an abstract idea into something personal. Something worth protecting.

This is at the heart of Starkey Hearing Foundation’s work. It’s not only about treating a need in the moment, but about equipping people with knowledge, dignity, and the ability to care for their hearing long after we leave.

We’re grateful for the dedicated professionals on the ground who show up day after day, strengthening their communities through care, education, and a shared commitment to hearing health.

Continuous care from Starkey Hearing Foundation helped set Joseph on a path that’s now helping others.

Joseph is a 25-year-old student from Manila who was born with hearing challenges. Struggling to hear at school slowly wore down his confidence, and there were moments when he nearly gave up on his education.

In 2015, Joseph met Starkey Hearing Foundation and received hearing aids that opened doors he once thought were closed.

Today, he’s studying Special Education, with a dream of becoming a teacher who empowers children with hearing difficulties, just like he was.

During an Aftercare Service at UST, Joseph was supported by a student from Starkey Hearing Institute Manila. Ongoing care from trained professionals removes barriers and opens new opportunities, especially as our third cohort gets underway.
