Advancing hearing health across Aotearoa
Donations enable us to deliver hearing screening in schools, promote safe listening, and provide education and resources for children, young people, families, and communities. We work to reduce preventable hearing loss, support early identification, and improve access to information and support for people who are Deaf or hard of hearing.
In 2026, our focus is on expanding reach, strengthening prevention, and increasing access to hearing health support nationwide.
