The Hear for Life Partner Program brings leading companies together with Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) to promote hearing health and encourage more Americans to act on their hearing. They help to extend our collective reach and impact as well as grow our hearing health constituency.
Hearing health is getting the attention it deserves nationally, and it gives us an unprecedented opportunity to do even more. Our partners provide vital tools and engagement so more people can and will live well with their hearing loss.
Hear for Life Partners join the Walk4Hearing to showcase their dedication and engagement with communities across the country. On Walk Day, these partners will be present to share information about their services and resources with the hearing loss community.
We’re better together as partners for hearing health.
