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.
Twenty years of partnership. Countless lives changed.
This weekend, we celebrated the incredible partnership between Starkey Hearing Foundation and Delta Zeta at the Tani Austin Ignite the Flame Celebration.
Together, we've created lasting impact, expanded access to hearing healthcare, and inspired generations of leaders. What began as a shared commitment to service has grown into a movement driven by purpose, compassion, and a belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to hear and connect.
As we celebrated the past, we also looked toward the future, one filled with new opportunities, new leaders, and even greater impact.
His mother woke up at 3 a.m. and traveled for hours to reach the mission, holding onto one hope: that her son might finally hear the world around him.
When his hearing aids were turned on, everything started to change. Slowly, he began making sounds. Then came one of the most beautiful moments of all, hearing him proudly say his vowel sounds out loud: “A, E, I, O, U.” It was a moment his mother had dreamed of for so long, finally becoming real.
Now, he has the opportunity to learn, communicate, and attend school alongside other children his age. What once felt distant is now becoming possible, one word and one sound at a time.
A mother’s love helped bring him here. And now, his own voice is helping carry him forward.
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.
