To provide a broad range of competent educational, informational, prevention, intervention, and advocacy services for the benefit of persons of all ages and backgrounds who have a hearing loss, who are deaf, who may be at risk for hearing loss or deafness, who have tinnitus, or who have a balance disorder.

Stop CMV AZ
Our current initiatives include partnering with Phoenix Children’s Hospital and Midwestern University to form Stop CMV AZ – a collaboration to increase awareness about congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV), support the families impacted by cCMV, and advocate for those who need our voice in the state of Arizona.

I am so grateful that we caught his vision problem early. I believe had I not known about this he would have had problems early on in school.
Lashey, Dominic's mom
If we had not learned about it until he was in school, it would have been too late.
Jennifer, Henry's mom
The early detection will help them succeed in school and recreational activities/hobbies. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Barbara, Kenyon and Perry's mom
