Breaking Barriers: Comprehensive Services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children

The Decibels Foundation strives to ensure that every child who is deaf or hard of hearing has the best chance to achieve his or her full potential and to succeed in life. We fulfill this mission by funding early intervention programs, educational services, family support, and access to essential technologies for children who are deaf and hard of hearing from infancy through high school.

Decibels also offers workshops and training sessions for professionals who are working with children using hearing aids and cochlear implants in regular education settings.

The Decibels Foundation is here to support your family.
