Mission Statement
We are committed to ensuring that every child has the right to good hearing—and thus the opportunity to develop their full potential.
About This Cause
Did you know that 4 out of 5 children with hearing loss live in low and middle-income countries? The reason? Many regions lack knowledge, skilled professionals, and hearing aids. For children, the consequences are severe. To develop language comprehension, a baby must be able to hear. Without hearing, a child cannot learn to speak, and their language skills cannot fully develop later on. This limits their ability to attend regular school, and they will have fewer opportunities for a career and independent life in the future. Early detection and treatment are therefore critical. Even children who lose their hearing later in life should receive hearing aids as soon as possible. Hearing loss has consistently been linked to lower employment and income levels. Studies show that those affected are more frequently unemployed or employed part-time and have a lower income, primarily attributed to communication difficulties and often lower educational qualifications. Hear the World is a Swiss based foundation, founded in 2006 to support children in low and middle-income countries who need access to hearing care. Our vision is a world where every child can hear well and live a life without barriers. Our work spans from Europe to the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South America. We are currently active in 14 countries and we work with selected local partner organizations. We provide them with hearing aids and technology, and we train local professionals. We emphasize that our project partners work with health authorities and the government. This is the only way to strengthen local structures sustainably in the long term. In everything we do, children are at the center. By involving all stakeholders - from professionals to families and national structures - we create the foundation for better treatment outcomes and a higher quality of life for children with hearing loss. With your contribution, numerous babies and children with hearing loss will have the opportunity to hear well and live life to their full potential - thanks to Sonova covering all administrative costs, every donation goes directly to help provide children with better opportunities for a future without hearing loss.
