Our hearing healthcare model is built upon Starkey Hearing Foundation’s legacy of international hearing missions. During these missions in more than 100 countries, we not only helped people hear – we also provided training and education on hearing, hearing loss and hearing aids. We trained hearing healthcare professionals and developed programs in 70 countries through our unique combination of knowledge and skillsets, creating the WFA® Community-Based Hearing Healthcare Model.
Today, our focus has shifted from direct one-to-one services to an even larger goal of systems change through global partnerships, education, and capacity building . The first Starkey Hearing Institute , a program of Starkey Hearing Foundation, was created in 2016 in Lusaka, Zambia, to help address the urgent shortage of hearing healthcare professionals in the developing world.
