Happy Birthday, Larry Fitzgerald!

For years, Larry has generously shared his time, heart, and energy with Starkey Hearing Foundation, helping us bring the gift of hearing to people and communities around the world.

Today, we’re celebrating Larry by looking back at a special trip to Manila, Philippines, in 2016. He joined us for a hearing mission, connecting with the people we served, and also found some time to explore the city through another one of his passions: photography.

Larry, thank you for always showing up with kindness, giving back, and believing in our mission. We’re grateful for your friendship and for the difference you continue to make.

Happy Birthday, Larry!

Individual rights begin with access.

On Individual Rights Day, we recognize that everyone deserves the opportunity to fully participate in their family, community, and future. Access to healthcare, including hearing healthcare, plays an important role in making that possible.

The ability to hear and communicate can shape education, employment, independence, and connection. Yet for millions of people around the world, hearing healthcare remains out of reach simply because of where they live or the resources available to them.

Starkey Hearing Foundation is working to change that by helping communities build sustainable hearing healthcare systems and bringing care closer to the people who need it.

Because hearing healthcare is about more than access to a service. It is about giving people the opportunity to learn, work, connect, and participate fully in the world around them.

For John, better hearing means a better day at work.

John Tirusasira is a 44-year-old commercial motorcycle rider from Bugiri District, Uganda. Every day, his customers rely on him to get where they need to go. But for years, hearing loss made it difficult for John to understand their directions and communicate along the way.

On World Hearing Day, John received hearing aids. Today, he can hear his customers more clearly, communicate with greater ease, and do his job with more confidence.

John recently returned for aftercare and a new supply of batteries, an important part of helping ensure he continues to benefit from his hearing aids long after his initial fitting.

Because access to hearing healthcare is about more than hearing. It is about connection, independence, and the ability to keep moving forward.
