Our Mission
Hearing Loss
In the Middle East, it is estimated that 5-7 out of 1000 children are born with severe hearing loss every year. Most of those children need cochlear implants and extensive hearing rehabilitation early in life (ideally younger than 3 years of age) to have the best chance to improve.
Why are we needed?
Children with hearing loss in most developing countries have limited access to cochlear implants, hearing aids, and proper rehabilitation. This carries a major longterm effect with disability on those children.
Our Services
We are a Non-Profit and Tax-Exempt organization based in the USA that provides the first and only charitable cochlear implants surgeries and hearing rehabilitation to underserved children in the Middle East. Currently, we have sustainable programs in Palestine, North Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon.
