Emerging Research Grants: Call for Applications
The Emerging Research Grants program is a competitive process that awards grants to only the most promising investigators. Recipients are exceptionally well-positioned to secure subsequent funding from major federal funders. In fact, ERG awardees (2002–present) have gone on to be awarded an average of $59 in federal research funding for every dollar of their ERG grant.
Impact 2024
Hearing Health Foundation’s mission to fund innovative, groundbreaking hearing and balance science is only possible because of you. We are grateful for the support of our community.
HHF Voices Concerns Over Proposed NIH Reorganization Plans
HHF urges caution if structural changes to the NIH will result in the shifting of resources away from already underfunded areas of research like hearing loss and related disorders.
Let’s Welcome 2024 With a Leap Toward Discovery
As we jump into 2024, a leap year with an extra day in February, we want to extend our warmest wishes for a year filled with health, happiness, and the sounds of joy.
Our Impact This Year, Thanks to You
Impact 2023
Sounds Emitted by the Ear Provide a Window Onto the Cochlea’s Frequency Tuning
We demonstrated that sounds emitted by the ear—called otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), specifically distortion-product OAEs—may provide a noninvasive window onto cochlear frequency tuning. OAEs are a byproduct of the amplification process mediated by outer hair cells and are often measured in clinical hearing screenings.
HHF Is 65 This Year!
More funding and more time leads to more ambitious experimental plans, additional data collected, and a stronger footing for subsequent research and research funding.
Step Up for Science Match Through May 19
Every May, we invite our community to join us as we Step Up for Science in support of the ERG program, our flagship research effort—with a dollar for dollar match. Your gift goes twice as far.
