Hearing First
At Hearing First, we want all children to have the opportunity to take advantage of access to sound – to power their potential to be whatever they want to be.
Ears are the doorway to the brain and hearing is the foundational building block for children to listen and talk, become healthy readers, and do well in school. We know that early learning is critical to a child's language development and lifetime success. For children who are deaf or hard of hearing to have the same opportunities as their hearing peers and to capitalize on the early period for brain development, they must be able to take advantage of today's resources and technology to access sound.
Our mission is to help families ensure their child who is deaf or hard of hearing has opportunities to reach their full potential through listening and spoken language. We're here to support families through the critical early days and along their journey raising their child, whenever they have questions or just need to connect with someone.
