Many children with hearing loss are the only one in their school. This camp offers them a chance to meet others just like them, share their experiences and build friendships rooted in understanding and shared journeys. Even more inspiring, many of the counselors and volunteers were once campers themselves, now returning to mentor the next generation. It’s a powerful full-circle moment. Community support & adult services that give back Although Hearts for Hearing serves people of all ages, their commitment to children remains at the core. In fact, proceeds from adult hearing services go directly to support pediatric care, a sustainable model that allows more children to receive help, regardless of their insurance or financial situation. Adults who choose to receive their hearing care from Hearts for Hearing aren’t just improving their own quality of life; they’re investing in a child’s future.
Growing to serve even more In January 2026, Hearts for Hearing will open the doors to a new, expanded Oklahoma City clinic. This innovative space will double their current footprint, increase capacity for both pediatric and adult services, and house an expanded Research Institute under the leadership of Dr. Renee Gifford. One of the most striking features of the new building will be a 53-foot tower featuring an illuminated sculpture of a soundwave, symbolizing a “celebration of sound.” It will light up at night every time someone receives the gift of hearing, a visual reminder of the lives changed within those walls.
