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.
Every child deserves the opportunity to fully connect with the world around them and the confidence to grow within it.
Deo Isaiah Secro, a lively 6-year-old from Mandaue, Cebu, is discovering a world he had never fully heard before.
The moment he received his hearing aids marked the beginning of something life-changing. His eyes sparkled with amazement as he began reacting to sounds in a whole new way. Little by little, he started finding his voice, creating sounds with the excitement of hearing himself for the very first time.
And in those moments, something beautiful began to unfold, not just new sounds, but new confidence, curiosity, and connection with the people who love him most.
At 86 years old, Mrs. Merina’s Family realized her hearing had gradually declined, making everyday conversations more difficult, especially in places with background noise. They found themselves speaking louder and repeating more often just to help her stay connected.
The legacy of William F. Austin is rooted in creating light through windows to the world, using hearing as a vehicle to reflect Starkey Hearing Foundation’s love for humanity. Mrs. Merina’s story is a beautiful reflection of that mission in action.
With hearing aids in her ears, Mrs. Merina is once again able to reconnect with her loved ones and engage more fully with the world around her.
In Ethiopia, a country of more than 100 million people, hearing care remains extremely scarce. For many communities, access to hearing healthcare is limited or nonexistent.
After graduating from Starkey Hearing Institute, Berhane returned home determined to make a difference. Today, he reaches those most in need, leading a small team, and showing up for every person he can.
On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we celebrate those creating access where it is needed most.
