The Starkey Hearing Foundation’s mission is to change the social consciousness of hearing. Since 2000, the Foundation has supplied nearly 500,000 hearing aids to people in need and is striving to achieve its goal of over one million more by 2020.
In addition to giving the gift of hearing through donating hearing aids, the Foundation partners with Best Buy, the Grammy Foundation and a number of recording artists to promote "Safe Hearing" and prevention, especially among teens, through its national program, SoundMatters.
