“Hearing people have the ability to remove barriers that prevent deaf people from achieving their dreams.” Marlee Matlin (Actress—Children of a Lesser God) Here at the House of Hearing we see the distress and grief that can result from hearing loss. We believe the gift of hearing is priceless, and it is our earnest wish to do all in our power to protect and nurture that gift in others. The staff at the House of Hearing share Marlee Matlin’s vision too and have dedicated their lives to helping people with hearing loss overcome their barriers and achieve their dreams. Four pillars support this epic House of Hearing mission. 1. Education about the dangers of hearing loss 2. Prevention of hearing loss 3. Improving the hearing experience for people with hearing loss 4. Conservation of existing hearing levels
