About The Listen Foundation

In 1969 a group of parents of deaf children founded the Listen Foundation after experiencing the profound transformation of speech and hearing programming under the direction of Doreen Pollack. Listen Foundation therapists help children learn to listen and talk with the use of hearing aids and cochlear implants, maximizing their residual hearing and providing the best possible spoken language. The Listen Foundation provides financial assistance for families in need and no child has been refused therapy due to their family’s inability to pay. The children who attend this program learn to listen, comprehend spoken language, speak and read. This is not just a technique, but rather a powerful way of life that is practiced every day. The Listen Foundation Provides:

Individualized Listening & Spoken Language Therapy Early Intervention Services
Tele-Health Distance Therapy
Music Together Within Therapy®
Professional Development and Mentoring
Parent Education & Community Events
Cochlear Implant Family Camp

There have been many times when she has announced how thankful she is that she can hear and speak. She truly appreciates the gift. –Becky, Mother of a Listen Graduate
