💙 Gratitude in Action! 💙
How incredible is it when generosity meets personal connection? We are beyond thankful to CertaPro Painters for choosing the Dallas Hearing Foundation as one of their charitable recipients.
This meaningful gift came from the heart of one of their own team members, Chris Gorlitz, whose daughter Leila is touched by hearing loss. Leila is an inspiration to her family and to our entire community, and we are so grateful that her story helped create this special connection.
Because of Chris, Leila, and the incredible team at CertaPro, you are now part of the DHF family — and that means the world to us. Support like this helps us continue providing resources, technology, and community to individuals and families on their hearing journey.
✨ A huge THANK YOU to CertaPro Painters for your generosity and heart! ✨

Today is National Cochlear Implant Day! 🎉
From the very first activation to the everyday sounds that make life meaningful, cochlear implants have opened doors to connection, communication, and confidence for so many in our community. 💙
At the Dallas Hearing Foundation, we celebrate every journey — whether you communicate through spoken language, sign language, technology, or a beautiful mix of it all. There is no one “right” way to hear or communicate… and every story matters.
✨ We want to hear from YOU!
What is your FAVORITE sound you’re able to experience because of your cochlear implant?
Is it laughter? Music? A loved one’s voice? The crunch of leaves? Your favorite song? Share it in the comments and let’s celebrate the together!

Going for GOLD — and making a difference far beyond the track!
As Elana Meyers Taylor heads into her fifth and final Olympic Games, she continues to inspire not only through her strength as a world-class bobsledder, but through her powerful advocacy for the deaf and disability communities.
Elana is a proud mom to two incredible boys — Nico (5), who wears cochlear implants and also has Down syndrome, and Noah (3), who communicates using American Sign Language (ASL). Her family’s journey reminds us that there is no one-size-fits-all path — communication can look many different ways, and every child deserves access, opportunity, and support.
At the Dallas Hearing Foundation, we love celebrating families who embrace technology, language, and individuality to help their children thrive. 💙
Join us in cheering on Elana as she goes for gold — and for continuing to use her voice to advocate for inclusion and accessibility for all.

🏈✨ Access looks different for everyone — and that’s something worth celebrating.
We loved this powerful short film featuring football at the New Mexico School for the Deaf — especially the pre-game moment with a young athlete signing with confidence. Whether someone communicates through sign language, spoken language, hearing aids, cochlear implants, or a mix of communication styles, what matters most is opportunity, connection, and community.
At Dallas Hearing Foundation, we support individuals and families across the entire deaf and hard of hearing spectrum. There isn’t just one path — and seeing athletes thrive reminds us how important access and inclusion are both on and off the field. 💙
🎥 Watch the full film here: https://youtu.be/obp-YuNCi30?si=mh7Umwjp9Z4uYvQh
👏 Thank you to Southwestern Illinois College for sharing this meaningful look at teamwork and communication.

✨ Throwback Moment… and WOW, how far we’ve come! ✨
This photo takes us back to the early days of the DHF Teen Squad — and today, that same incredible group has grown into Hear to Lead, a youth-led leadership community shaping the future of advocacy, connection, and confidence. 💙
It’s amazing to look at all these baby faces and realize that several of these young leaders are graduating this year! Watching their growth, friendships, and leadership has been one of the greatest joys for our DHF family.
Now, Hear to Lead is being led by the group, and we cannot wait to see the incredible things they will accomplish in 2026.
📅 Join us every 3rd Saturday of the month!
Our next meeting is Saturday, February 21 at the Plano Police Department, where we’ll be hosting a roundtable to plan some exciting events for the year ahead.
