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.
We celebrated the graduation of our second class from Starkey Hearing Institute Latin America, welcoming 43 new hearing healthcare professionals from across the region who will help bring hearing healthcare to their own communities.
As part of the Institute’s graduation week, more than 1,000 people received the gift of hearing and essential hearing healthcare through Starkey Hearing Foundation, helping them reconnect with the people, sounds, and moments that matter most.
Together, these efforts reflect our commitment to providing care today while training and supporting local professionals to ensure that care continues for years to come.
When Edwin Advincula visited our Aftercare Service in Baguio to have his hearing aids checked and batteries replaced, we had the opportunity to hear more about his remarkable journey.
Edwin, 46, from Pangasinan, was born with hearing loss. His parents and teachers first noticed his difficulty hearing when he was in kindergarten. He received his first hearing aids in Grade 4, but they didn’t last, leaving him without the support he needed.
In 2015, a friend connected Edwin with Starkey Hearing Foundation, and the following year, he received a new pair of hearing aids. With the gift of sound came new opportunities.
That same year, Edwin tried out for competitive table tennis. Years of dedication and training eventually earned him a place representing the Philippines in Indonesia in 2025, where he proudly brought home a bronze medal.
Today, Edwin is preparing to compete again in Malaysia in 2026 while also coaching young athletes and sharing his experience with the next generation.
Edwin’s journey is a powerful reminder of what can happen when determination meets opportunity. Sometimes, helping someone hear isn’t simply about restoring sound. It’s about giving them the chance to pursue everything they’re capable of.

Hearing opens the door to connection, confidence, and possibility.
Every hearing device provided represents a chance for a child to hear a parent’s voice, a teacher’s lesson, a friend’s laughter, and so much more.
Together, we can make sure more children have the opportunity to be heard and understood.
