I was diagnosed with moderately severe hearing loss in both ears when she was only three years old. Most insurance companies deem hearing aids not "medically necessary". Trust me when I say this... I ABSOLUTELY would not be where I am today if I didn't benefit from wearing hearing aids. From the first time I heard birds singing after getting my very first pair of hearing aids, to now, where I am on calls every single day in a customer facing role, hearing aids are truly a part of who I am. After moving to Southern California from Chicago, I learned about HearAid Foundation through a newsletter. Due to my own personal experience with hearing loss, I instantly knew that I wanted to be a part of this incredible organization. One of my greatest joys is seeing our recipients receive their hearing aids and hearing their equivalent of my first birdsong.
For my birthday this year (August 15th), I'm participating in the 3rd Annual Heroes for Hearing fundraiser, and asking that each of you contribute towards the gift of hearing too! No donation is too small, and EVERY donation helps.
