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.
🎁 This holiday season, we’re grateful for our longtime friends The Tenors who have traveled with Starkey Hearing Foundation on mission trips and seen firsthand the power of hearing healthcare. 🎶
Their special message reminds us that music, laughter, and connection are gifts meant to be shared. We invite you to take a moment to watch - and, if you’re inspired, help give the gift of hearing healthcare to someone in need. 🩵
✨ At Starkey Hearing Foundation, we have the privilege of witnessing full-circle journeys - and Juan Carlos’ story is one we hold especially close. ✨
Juan Carlos first came to the Foundation as a child in 1995, when Dr. Carla Rondeau brought his family to our co-founder, Mr. Bill Austin. That was the day he received his first hearing aids - and the beginning of a lifelong connection rooted in care, possibility, and belief. Over the years, Juan Carlos remained close to the mission. He returned not just as a patient, but as a volunteer - showing up at missions, learning, helping, and quietly growing into his purpose. Juan Carlos shared, “When I turned 25, I was given the opportunity to join the team. It felt like a privilege: to serve the same community that had once lifted me up.” 🩵
This November, Juan Carlos graduated from the Starkey Hearing Institute as a hearing healthcare professional. Today, he’s working with the Institute in Latin America - helping others rediscover the sounds that shaped his own journey.
In his own words: “My favorite sounds? The ones that remind me I’m alive - like nature… and a little electronic music to bring me joy.” 🎵❤️
✨We proudly honor the graduation of 24 new hearing healthcare professionals from the Starkey Hearing Institute Zambia - a milestone that represents hope, equity, and stronger health systems across the continent through our Institute model over the last 10 years 🎓🌍💙
With leaders from MTN Fintech, Lusaka Stock Exchange, ABSA, representatives from the Ministry of Health, Delta Zeta Sorority National and members of the Foundation’s board in attendance -and guided with warmth and humor by our emcee, Larry Madowo - we honored the devotion and excellence of this year’s graduates. We also shared deep gratitude for Dr. Alfred Mwamba Mwamba and Sheeba Mwamba whose daily leadership continues to shape the Institute’s impact. 🙏🏽✨
A powerful performance by Roy - The Songster, Zambia’s soulful and rising indie talent, added a meaningful touch to the celebration - reminding us how music connects us to culture, community, and possibility. 🎶💛
Congratulations to the Class of 2025 - your work will transform lives and strengthen communities for generations to come. 🌟👂💙 ... See MoreSee Less
