Today, May 21st, 2026, our Ear Community Organization proudly helped Zuria receive the gift of hearing!Zuria is six years old and was born with microtia and atresia of her right ear. She lives in North Carolina and enjoys school and dancing! Zuria’s hearing loss recently began changing and has impacted her academic progress along with her speech. She has had to repeat a school grade. Also, at Zuria’s last audiology visit, her parents discovered her hearing was changing, realizing she was struggling to hear. Her family noticed she was not responding to instructions on the first attempt lately and they have found themselves explaining things to her multiple times. Zuria’s parents could not afford the cost of a BAHS, but her family found our organization where we could help!
Zuria is also a recipient of receiving help through Ear Community’s Pax’s Ear Fund, helping cover the cost to program and fit her new Baha 7 Max!
Thank you to Dr. Nevin for finding the help Zuria needed and for helping make sure she can hear her best now! A special thank you to Keesha Pfeiffer and Cochlear Americas helping Zuria hear with her NEW Baha 7 Max! We are also grateful for Pax’s Ear Fund and the support of the Gross Family Foundation for making this fund possible to help reimburse audiologists for the fitting/programming service fee when families cannot afford to pay or when insurance denies this service. Pax’s Ear Fund helps audiologists still give the gift of hearing through our organization! Thank you to Pax, a sweet little boy who’s helping kids & adults hear! Together, we can make wonderful things happen for our community!
