Changing lives

Over 300 babies are born with hearing loss in Australia each year.1 With early intervention, children born deaf can listen, speak and reach their full learning potential through:

  • State-of-the-art hearing technology and audiology support
  • Specialised speech therapy
  • Group programs fostering resilience and wellbeing

Right now, hundreds of babies and toddlers with hearing loss are learning the skills to hear, listen and speak at Hear and Say centres around Queensland and via telehealth.

“When we found out our daughter was born deaf we didn’t really know where or who to turn to. I started researching and as soon as I came across Hear and Say I knew that they were the team I wanted for Alexis. The support has been right from her cochlear implant candidacy, including living regionally and being able to access speech and language therapy via telehealth.”

- Kirsty, mum to eight-year-old Alexis

FAQs

Your generous donation allows us to continue to change the lives of babies and children who are deaf or hard of hearing. We rely on the community to cover the costs not funded by NDIS, in order to ensure the children we help do not have to live a life limited by their disability.
