Manny Pacquiao Observes Bill Austin With PatientStarkey Hearing Foundation, which strives to change the social consciousness of hearing and hearing health care, wrapped up its hearing mission in Manila on Monday, December 5, 2011 with the help of Filipino Professional Boxer Manny Pacquiao, who assisted in fitting more than 150 children and adults with hearing aids over the course of the mission’s final day.
During the four-day mission, Starkey Hearing Foundation delivered the gift of hearing to 1,400 patients with the Foundation team of audiologists and staff fitting each of the recipients with their own custom-made, hearing device. The mission took place at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila.
Starkey Hearing Foundation’s Manila hearing mission is one of dozens of missions conducted each year by the Foundation both domestically and internationally. Hearing missions are the primary way the Starkey Hearing Foundation realizes its goal so the world may hear. In turn, the Foundation has set a target of fitting 1,000,000 hearing aids to individuals in need by the end of this decade.
According to the Starkey Hearing Foundation, hearing loss is pervasive affecting 34 million Americans alone – or one in 10. Yet, with the help of a hearing device, hearing loss can often be corrected in a majority cases, giving an individual the opportunity to better connect with their family, the community, and the world around them.
