Our Impact

Together, we are helping to reconnect grandparents with their grandchildren, parents with their families and children with their schools. We help those who are used to silence, find connection again.

Our community of supporters has helped raise $24M to advance research discovery, clinical care, and innovation pipelines, accelerating impact beyond what traditional funding alone can achieve.

Locally, Ear Science has assisted many people in need, through the provision of hearing aids and cochlear implants. The research funded and conducted by Ear Science Institute Australia has the potential to help millions of people worldwide. This research is critical to discovering new treatments and to one-day cure hearing loss.

By supporting the Gift of Hearing Appeal, you give us the ability to continue benefiting and changing the lives of people locally, nationally and internationally.

Change a Life

Change a Life is an initiative facilitated by donations to Ear Science Institute Australia and our long standing partnership with Sonova. Every year, our clinicians choose patients with compelling life stories, that require a hearing device, but cannot access one without assistance. The impact of these devices truly change the life of those that receive them.
