Please give what you can. We graciously accept donations of any and all sizes. The market cost in the United States of a cochlear implant device, implant surgery, and follow-up therapy ranges from $75,000 to $100,000. The Help Me Hear Foundation, however, will be able to provide impoverished deaf children with a cochlear implant for just $7,000. In other words, with your help, we will be able to provide SEVEN deaf children with a cochlear implant for what it would otherwise cost ONE.

The burden of hearing impairment and deafness falls disproportionately on the poor, because they are unable to afford the preventive and routine care necessary to avoid hearing loss, or to afford [devices] to make the condition manageable. Hearing impairment can also make it more difficult to escape poverty by slowing progress in school and the workplace, and placing people in social isolation….The cost of special education and lost employment due to hearing impairment can also impose a substantial economic burden on countries.”
