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.
At 74 years old, Mr. Zoro Yusuf still has work to do.
A respected tailor in Uganda, Mr. Yusuf's life changed when his hearing aids were damaged. According to his family, he often asked, "What is life without hearing?" Without access to sound, he could no longer do the work he loved.
After visiting the Starkey Hearing Foundation service center in Arua, he was refit with hearing aids and provided fresh batteries. The impact was immediate.
Mr. Yusuf is back at work, his desk is full, and he's doing what he loves once again.
This kind of ongoing care is made possible through partners like Rayovac, whose donated hearing aid batteries help ensure individuals can continue benefiting from their hearing technology long after their initial fitting.
Because hearing healthcare is about more than hearing. It's about maintaining independence, purpose, and connection throughout life's journey.
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.
