Early intervention outreach launched for our Goshen clinic! Over the past week, our team screened *122* preschoolers in Elkhart County. For Allen and adjacent counties, we screened nearly *800* children during our 2025-26 screening season. Because Hearing Matters! 💙🧡

Happy World Hearing Day!

World Hearing Day is a World Health Organization (WHO) initiative to raise global awareness on hearing loss prevention and promotion of ear and hearing healthcare. The 2026 theme is "From Communities to Classrooms: Hearing Care for All Children." GiveHear is so proud of our pediatric outreach programs and clinical care!

GiveHear offers a grant-funded School Screening Program to regional preschools and K-12 programs with the goal of identifying children with potential hearing loss. Our team screens about 1,000 children per school year. Children who do not pass onsite screening are offered comprehensive follow-up at our clinics to rule-out or confirm hearing loss.

Our Newborn Hearing Program offers price-capped hearing screenings for infants who do not receive this service at birth and comprehensive follow-up testing for babies who do not pass newborn hearing screening. This program is available to all families regardless of household income and/or insurance status.

And, of course, our clinics offer diagnostic and rehabilitative services - testing, hearing aids, and cochlear implant services - to children of all ages. GiveHear accepts all Indiana Medicaid programs, Children's Special Health Care Services, and most commercial insurances. We are First Steps and HAAPI providers as well!

Turn of year always brings Board of Directors changes, and we’d like to make some announcements!

Thank you to Chris Niezer of Gibson for your tenure as Board Chair for the past two years! Your leadership has been integral in GiveHear’s growth, and we are so happy you’re committing to a second Director’s term.

Chris is passing the Chair position to Ron Pinter of Ruoff Mortgage, so we are in GREAT hands!

Thank you to Natalie Makowski of Katz Sapper Miller for your Board service for the past 3 years! Natalie has served as previous Treasurer and will continue to be involved with GiveHear as a member of our Finance Committee.
