Giving Tuesday — the biggest day of online giving to support nonprofits like Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) — is only two weeks away on Tuesday, December 3. All gifts received in honor of Giving Tuesday will be generously matched by an anonymous donor.

Frank Barnes, featured in Hearing Health magazine in Spring 2019, says, “I support HHF to help us find our sound.” Frank, who has lived with hearing loss since age 2, wears a cochlear implant in his right ear and is an advocate for hearing health.

HHF’s work to better treat and cure hearing loss and related conditions like tinnitus, Usher syndrome, Ménière's disease, hyperacusis, and auditory processing disorder, will benefit Frank and those like him. More than 50 million Americans and close to a half-billion worldwide are affected by hearing loss, one of our most pressing public health issues. By making a donation of any size to top-tier researchers funded by HHF, you are able to participate in life-changing treatments and cures.

Please give to HHF on Tuesday, December 3 to celebrate this very special day of philanthropy, and to equip our scientists with the resources needed to better the lives of millions who live with hearing and balance conditions. Remember that your gift will be 100% matched, so your contribution will have twice the impact!

HHF’s 4-star rating, the highest available, from Charity Navigator was renewed on November 1. In addition, HHF is accredited by the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance and maintains an A+ rating from Charity Watch. You can be sure your Giving Tuesday contribution will be used efficiently.

If you’re not able to make a donation of your own at this time, it's easy to engage friends and family to give to HHF on your behalf this Giving Tuesday. Review our guide to creating your own online fundraiser.

Thank you for your support!
