The
Starkey Hearing Foundation Israel-Palestine Hearing Mission of Peace
once again brought Americans, Israelis and Palestinians together for a
common cause to address a critical need. For the second time in less
than a year, Starkey Hearing Foundation, which strives to change the
social consciousness of hearing and hearing health care, visited the
region in an effort to promote greater communication
and understanding among local communities through improved hearing. The
Starkey Hearing Foundation Israel-Palestine Hearing Mission of Peace II
took place on February 25-28, 2012 and served hearing impaired children
and adults. In addition to being the Foundation’s second visit to the
region, the visit marked the first time digital hearing aids were
distributed as part of an international hearing mission. The digital,
state-of-the-art hearing aids were donated by Starkey Hearing
Technologies.
