MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Songs for Sound is a 501c3 charity founded on a heartwarming story & a passionate objective: to provide AWARENESS OF hearing loss solutions, ACCESS TO hearing loss testing and devices and encourage ACTION for those suffering from hearing loss and deafness. Songs for Sound aims to provide everyone with an opportunity to live a mainstream life full of sound and language, and of course, MUSIC.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

Songs for Sound uses a passionate and compelling story about hearing loss & music to create awareness, increase access and encourage action around untreated hearing loss. SFS aims to give HOPE to 1,000,000 people by 2025 by connecting them to life-changing hearing health resources. We do this through OUTREACH by providing free hearing screenings and increasing awareness of hearing health information and resources. We then provide full-service support through our Care Team, a group of hearing health advocates and guides. Finally, our Hardaway’s Hope programs provides lifetime support helping people thrive with hearing loss and hearing technologies.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Hearoes Program The Hearoes Program is a targeted effort to help veterans access and navigate quality hearing health solutions. Our Hear the Music Project refers more veterans to audiology than any other demographic - 85% have untreated hearing loss. Hearing loss and tinnitus are the #1 military injury and our veterans are underserved. We need a touring experience/vehicle travel to veteran/military inspired events/organizations, airs shows across the US to help our heroes to hear. HEAR THE MUSIC FAMILY RETREAT CAMP We send 30+ families of children with hearing loss, deafness or speech differences to a fully funded weekend retreat at the Center for Courageous Kids in Scottsville, KY. Activities include kayaking, canoeing, archery, horseback riding, songwriting & swimming with breakout groups to discuss advocacy and youth empowerment, strategies for success in academics & athletics and general challenged faced by children with hearing loss or deafness. INTERNATIONAL MISSION TRIP Eden means “paradise or a place of pristine, abundant beauty”. Eden, Jamaica, nestled in the mountains outside of Montego Bay, is just that. However, there are little to no resources for hearing and speech solutions for those who live in this country with hearing loss and deafness. Upon an initial visit a few years ago to the Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf, Jaime knew we had to create opportunities for these children and this country to begin a system of hearing healthcare. Each summer, we bring a team of volunteers, audiologists and donated Phonak hearing aids to the students of Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf. HEAR THE MUSIC BENEFIT CONCERTS Hear the Music Benefit Concerts raise awareness and support for hearing loss programs & initiatives. Nashville’s hit singer-songwriters provide the entertainment to raise support for Songs for Sound and our Sound for Soldiers campaigns. Our funds raised offset the cost of our direct outreach, international mission work and Hear the Music Kids Camps and we donate to the best hearing programs in the country. THE SOUND NETWORK Companies, Audiology clinics, charities and other organizations exist to serve communities. Songs for Sound believes in partnering with like-minded organizations focused on or affected by hearing loss. Because of the massive success of our Hear the Music Project, we are receiving interest that charities, Audiologists and other organizations would like to conduct the same outreach in their area. In addition, we are receiving many calls for our services after we've left a region or state. The Sound Network will support both opportunities and needs. Organizations must support important causes to stay relevant. Americans overwhelmingly agree that they will choose brands who support worthy causes. Employees agree it is important for employers to protect their health, including hearing health. The Sound Network is a collection of brands (for-profit or non-profit) which will join together to offer outreach for hearing services.
