Supporters
Hear the World Foundation has a number of supporters who dedicate their time, expertise and technology to our mission. Their collective efforts help us to effectively reach and empower children with hearing loss and make a lasting difference in their lives.
Volunteers of Hear the World
Employees of the Sonova Group and external volunteers, such as our Advisory Board, actively support the foundation through volunteer work in the areas of audiology, strategy, operations, and communications and marketing. Hear the World launched the global volunteering program nearly ten years ago.
“The work we do on these Hear the World projects seems so small and so routine, but the impact is tremendous and brings me more joy than I could express.”

Audiologist with Connect Hearing Canada

In order to ensure that the children we support in low- and middle-income countries receive the same audiological care as those in high income countries, we rely on strong support from our suppliers as well as from Sonova AG brands Phonak, Unitron and Advanced Bionics.
