The Dallas Hearing Foundation was founded in December 1997, in response to the needs of deaf children and adults, to provide a specialized form of treatment for their deafness. Initially, we were stunned at the breadth and seriousness of the problem: deaf children and adults and their families are often unaware of medical and technological treatment that allows the deaf to hear, speak, attend regular schools and enter the careers of their choice. DHF provides assistance to individuals with hearing impairment who do not have insurance coverage or other resources to pay for hearing aids, cochlear implants, related medical costs and auditory-verbal therapy. It is our mission to give every hearing impaired child and adult a thorough chance to be considered for medical, technological, rehabilitative and educational assistance. Since its inception, DHF has provided over $1 million in hearing technologies and services to deaf children and adults who would otherwise be confined by the extreme limitations of a silent world.
Many lives have been profoundly changed by the services provided by the Dallas Hearing Foundation. Our goal is to be able to give the miracle of hearing and speech to every deaf child and adult who needs our assistance.
Dallas Hearing Foundation exists to provide advanced hearing technology and services to individuals with hearing loss. We are committed to providing these resources by:
