He didn’t just graduate from Starkey Hearing Institute, he helped change what’s possible in the small country of Lesotho. After graduating from our program In 2016, Khotso Kebise became the first ever registered Hearing Instrument Specialist in Lesotho.

Today he’s helping reshape access, awareness, and dignity by reaching children, rural communities, and influencing national policy, including the recognition of sign language in 2025.

This isn’t just healthcare.
It's connection. Inclusion. Voice.
Because hearing isn’t just medical—it’s human.

Sometimes hearing care happens in a clinic. Sometimes it happens from the back of a truck.

Anicet had nearly given up his small retail shop. His hearing loss made it harder and harder to serve his customers, which is why he was so determined to reach our aftercare team and care for his Starkey Hearing Foundation hearing aids.

With limited network coverage, he never received our call about the aftercare visit. But after hearing about it from another patient, he jumped on a motorcycle and set out to find us, arriving just as we were packing up.

So we served him right there… from the back of the truck!

A quick mold change and battery refill, and Anicet was back on his way.

That’s the beauty of the WFA method. Our professionals don’t just work in clinics. They bring hearing care wherever it’s needed.

As we celebrate Earth Day, we’re reminded of the beauty of our world and the people who call it home.

Through our work in over 100 countries, we’ve witnessed it all, from the grandeur of vast landscapes, to the smallest most human moments.

Everywhere we go is unique, yet somehow familiar, connected by a shared strength, resilience, and a deep sense of hope and optimism for all that makes life possible.

Happy National High-Five Day!

Around the world, Starkey Hearing Foundation has helped millions experience better hearing—and deeper connection.

The WFA fitting method eliminates many of the barriers presented to patients seeking hearing help. What’s left?

Real moments. Real connection.

And a lot of high-fives. Share this Hi Five with someone you know.

A smile restored. A life reconnected. At just 22, Clara was losing hope of ever having normal conversations again. Hearing loss had made everyday moments frustrating, and isolating.

After receiving hearing aids through our Starkey Hearing Institute in Zambia, Clara didn’t just regain her hearing, she regained her confidence and her joy.

This is why we do what we do!

The gratitude shared that day was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when care meets community.

Last month in Bagamoyo and Mapinga, the Starkey Hearing Foundation Tanzania team welcomed children and adults from across the region for ear and hearing screenings. By the end of the outreach, 103 people received hearing aids.

What made this mission especially meaningful was the spirit of collaboration. Starkey Hearing Institute alumni from across Tanzania stepped away from their daily work to volunteer their time and expertise. Local partners and sponsors also showed up, providing refreshments and small incentives that helped make the outreach possible. It was a clear sign that communities themselves are embracing and supporting hearing health.

Together, this growing network of alumni and partners is building something lasting. Each outreach not only restores hearing, it strengthens local care and awareness across Tanzania, ensuring more people have the chance to hear.

Health is more than a moment, it’s a movement. 🌍💙

This World Health Day, we’re proud to invest in people through continuous education and training around the globe, empowering hearing health professionals to deliver care where it’s needed most.

We honor the students, graduates, and partners who are constantly learning, growing, and bringing hearing healthcare back to their communities.

Because when you train one provider, you open the door to thousands of lives changed. And through that ripple effect, we’re building a future where care is accessible, sustainable, and led by local experts.

Welcome class of 2026!

Investing in people. Expanding access. Changing the world.

"Giving one hearing aid at a time is not just giving them back their hearing, but also touching their souls, giving them a new beginning, allowing them to explore their potential..."

We're so proud of the recent graduates of Starkey Hearing Institute Philippines - From classroom to community, these leaders are bringing hearing healthcare where it’s needed most!

Recently, a group of alumni in Uganda led a mission that provided life-changing hearing care to 224 individuals, entirely organized, coordinated, and run by them.

This is the true power of our training: equipping local professionals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to bring hearing healthcare directly to their own communities.

At Starkey Hearing Foundation, the work goes beyond hearing aids. It’s about empowerment, sustainability, and creating lasting impact.

At Starkey Hearing Foundation, we see it every day: one gift of hearing can ripple far beyond a single life.

Anthasia was just five years old when she received hearing aids at our very first mission in the Philippines. Today, she’s 18 and a junior at the Philippine School for the Deaf. This time, she didn’t return only for herself. She brought 20 classmates with her.

Because of her, many heard their name spoken for the first time. Others experienced music for the very first time. Together, they stepped into the world of sound side by side, sharing the joy of hearing.

One act of kindness can grow into something truly extraordinary.

03/20/2026

Today, on the International Day of Happiness, we’re celebrating what it looks like when hearing is restored.

Smiles that light up a room. Laughter shared together. Music finally heard. Lives forever changed.

This is what hearing happiness looks like.
