We're not in this alone - Starkey Hearing Foundation is part of a team of organizations committed helping the world hear:
The Starkey Hearing Foundation has delivered more than 200,000 hearing aids to needy persons worldwide since 2000 - an effort sustained by thousands of volunteers and donors around the world. Besides giving the gift of hearing, the Foundation promotes hearing health awareness while supporting research and education.
Starkey Laboratories got its start in 1967 when William Austin founded Professional Hearing Aid Service, an all-make hearing instrument repair service in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. After setting new standards for the way repairs were handled, Austin acquired Starkey Laboratories, a small earmold company, in 1971. With a mission to provide better hearing rather than just hearing aids, Austin merged the two businesses under the Starkey name, and eventually began making custom in-the-ear hearing aids with a then-revolutionary no-obligation trial and “worry-free” warranty.
