Hearing the Call

Hospital de la Familia welcomes our audiology team to Nuevo Progreso, Guatemala! This special trip offers a meaningful opportunity to strengthen best practices in patient-centered care while supporting student audiologists in applying their clinical skills in diverse settings.

“I couldn’t hear at all.” This man in Malawi came to us unable to hear people speak. After being fit with hearing aids, he went from near silence to understanding conversations—a life-changing moment for him and for our team. This is why we do what we do. 💛

Another amazing day in Malawi! Our team saw 65 patients, including 17 children, and completed 30 hearing aid fittings. 29 people were referred to ENT, many for wax removal—small steps make a huge difference in hearing health. Grateful for the impact and the smiles today! 💛

A night full of laughter so we can share hearing smiles in the future! If you can’t attend but still want to support our efforts, click the link to see how your donation can make a lasting impact: hubs.ly/Q037-G8F0.

For many of our volunteers… Indonesia is quite literally, on the other side of the world! And yet, the team was so excited to make the long journey to Jakarta, where they learned there is a huge need for hearing care. #indonesia #jakarta #hearing #humanitarian #audiology
