Pray
For the people waiting to hear, for the providers who serve them, and for wisdom in every place we’re invited to work.
Hearing Hope. Compassionate Care.
Everyone deserves ears to hear.
Ears to Hear bridges the gap between people in need and the life-changing hearing care they would otherwise go without — raising funds for hearing aids and professional care, working with trusted local providers and partners already serving their communities.
Our mission
Ears to Hear is committed to expanding access to healthcare, including hearing care and other supportive services, for underserved individuals worldwide. We are committed to breaking barriers of communication and reflecting God’s love through service.
✦
We want everyone to have Ears to Hear.
The need
Hearing loss is common. Hearing care is not.
Around the world, the people least likely to receive hearing care are the people who need it most. A hearing aid can restore a child’s classroom, a parent’s livelihood, and a grandparent’s place at the table — but only if it ever reaches them.
Ears to Hear exists to close that distance.
430M+
people worldwide live with disabling hearing loss and need rehabilitation.
80%
of them live in low- and middle-income countries, where care is hardest to reach.
2.5B
people are projected to live with some degree of hearing loss by 2050.
1 in 5
people worldwide already live with some degree of hearing loss today.

How it works
A simple chain, carefully joined
We don’t parachute in. We connect what already exists — skilled local clinicians and organizations who have earned their community’s trust.
-
Local providers are identified
We seek out trusted hearing care providers in communities where the need is significant. They deliver professional, properly fitted care — the part a device alone can never replace.
-
Partners point us to the people
Special needs ministries, humanitarian organizations and churches already serving on the ground help us find the individuals who need care, and keep our work responsive to each community.
-
Barriers come down
Care is delivered, connection is restored — and we keep telling the story, so more people understand the need and more hands are free to meet it.
“Whoever has ears, let them hear.”Matthew 11:15
Join us
Four ways to be part of this
We invite our friends, families, churches, businesses, and communities to join us — through prayer, financial support, partnership, and service.
Give
Gifts fund the hearing aids and the services around them — the fittings, the follow-up, the travel, and the supportive care that makes hearing care possible.
Partner
Invite us to share the story of Ears to Hear, get your church or group praying, and help spread the word. Individuals, ministries, churches, and businesses can all help.
Serve
Pray, help fundraise, spread the word, write grants, help organize and market. There is more to do than there are hands to do it.
Because we believe everyone needs Ears to Hear
Help remove the barrier between someone and the sound of His name.
Every gift, partnership, and prayer moves care closer to a person who has been waiting for it.
