🐻💙 Introducing the Mama Bear Network – because no parent should walk the hearing journey alone. 💙🐻
We were so excited to do a soft launch of our Mama Bear Network at the 2025 DHF Golf Tournament, and now we want to make sure every family knows this incredible resource is here for you.
The Mama Bear Network was created to connect parents who are raising children who are deaf or hard of hearing — offering encouragement, shared experiences, trusted resources, and a safe place to ask questions and feel understood. Whether you’re brand new to this journey or years in, you don’t have to figure it out alone. This is community, connection, and compassion in action.
📸 These beautiful photos feature our amazing Mama Bears:
Jennifer Clark, Stephanie Claire, Ashley Logan, and Sloan Mitcham — powerful women who show up every day for their kids and for other families walking the same road.
A heartfelt thank you to Christie Gare Photography for capturing the heart of the Mama Bear Network so perfectly.
If you’d like to learn more about the Mama Bear Network or get connected, reach out to us anytime. We’re here to walk this journey with you. Link to request a Mama Bear https://bit.ly/MamaBearNetwork

Partner Spotlight: Joyful Life Cochlear Implant Fund 💙
At the Dallas Hearing Foundation, we believe that no one should ever have to go without sound — especially when it comes to the everyday cochlear implant “parts” that keep people connected to the world around them.
That’s why we are proud to share a valuable resource for our DHF family: Joyful Life Cochlear Implant Fund (JLCIF).
Founded by Angela Irwin, Joyful Life was created after she recognized a heartbreaking gap — too many individuals were going without sound because essential CI parts weren’t covered by insurance or available through other programs. Her passion turned into action, building a lifeline for families who had nowhere else to turn.
We’re also grateful that our local DHF friend Michael Noble serves as President of the Board, helping lead this incredible mission forward.
Through Joyful Life, DHF is able to refer recipients who need help with:
🔹 Cochlear implant parts
🔹 Staying in sound
🔹 Confidence coaching and support along the journey
We love sharing resources with our community, and Joyful Life Cochlear Implant Fund has truly answered the call to provide help where there are none.

Together, we’re keeping people in sound — and in life. 💫

Fun Fact About Hearing Loss
Your brain hears before your ears do.
Sound isn’t really heard in your ears — it’s processed in your brain. When someone has hearing loss, their brain isn’t getting the sound information it needs to build speech, language, and learning pathways.
That’s why early access to hearing technology is life-changing — it doesn’t just help people hear sounds…
it helps their brains learn how to hear. 🧠💙

🏈⚾🏀 Navigating Sports with Hearing Loss – A Must-Read for Families 🥎🏒🏈
One of the most common questions we receive from parents is:
“How will my child play sports with hearing aids or cochlear implants?”
From helmets and headgear to sweat, contact, and safety — it can feel overwhelming.
That’s why we are so grateful for Val Gideon and her newest book,
Navigating Sports with Hearing Loss.
Val has been an incredible champion for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, generously sharing her real-life experiences and practical guidance with families across the country. Her latest book is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and solutions for helping kids stay active, confident, and safe in sports while wearing hearing technology.
You can learn more about Val and her resources at www.mybattlecall.org.
To Val — thank you for continuing to walk alongside our families and for being such a trusted voice in this journey. Your insight makes a difference, and we are thankful for you! 💙👂
