Established in December 1997, the Dallas Hearing Foundation (DHF) was founded to address the critical needs of deaf children and adults by providing specialized treatments for their hearing impairment. DHF aims to enable deaf individuals to hear, speak, attend mainstream schools, and pursue careers of their choice by offering financial assistance for hearing aids, cochlear implants, related medical expenses, and auditory-verbal therapy. It is DHF's mission to provide comprehensive support in medical, technological, rehabilitative, and educational domains to every hearing-impaired child and adult regardless of access to insurance coverage or financial means.
According to surveys and studies:
Cost Breakdown
The costs associated with cochlear implants, hearing aids, and necessary therapies often render them inaccessible to families facing economic constraints. With limited reimbursement options from private health insurance and government programs, as well as the complete absence of coverage in some health policies, DHF has seen a yearly increase in applications from those in dire need of these essential devices and services.

Over the years, the Dallas Hearing Foundation (DHF) has steadfastly upheld a commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity, principles that are embedded in all facets of our operations. Our approach encompasses our board, staff, and, most importantly, our beneficiary recipients. DHF offers assistance without discrimination. We serve patients of all creed, race, ethnic background, nations of origin, ages and genders. We adhere to an application process that does not ask for the applicant's race or ethnicity and gender is non-determinant of consideration. Our application considers financial need in line with the HUD low-income guidelines for Dallas County. This criterion ensures that our support reaches those who need it most, regardless of their background.
DHF prides itself on serving a diverse community of recipients. This inclusive philosophy is mirrored by our board and staff, who represent a broad spectrum of experiences and perspectives including female board members and a board member with a disability. Through this approach, we strive not only to provide hearing solutions and support but also to foster an environment where diversity is celebrated, inclusion is the norm, and equity is the goal, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to experience the world of sound.
