What is The H.E.A.R. Project?

Founded in 1999, the H.E.A.R. Project provides financial assistance to Colorado children who
are deaf or hard-of-hearing and do not qualify for public funding. The H.E.A.R. Project provides funding for amplification, rehabilitation and associated services.

The H.E.A.R. Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, directed by a group of Colorado audiologists, parents of children with hearing loss, teachers of the hearing-impaired and community members.

Why is the H.E.A.R. Project so important to Colorado children with hearing loss?

When a family learns their child has a hearing loss they experience significant emotional and financial challenges. Hearing aids cost up to $6,000 per child and are rarely covered by health insurance. Public funding for hearing care is only provided to families with extremely limited incomes, leaving many Colorado children without appropriate amplification. The H.E.A.R. Project’s goal is to ease the family’s financial burden and to assure that children receive the hearing care that they need to thrive developmentally, socially, and academically.
