The Starkey Hearing Foundation, Jordin Sparks and David Archuletta Tackle Childrens Hearing Loss

Starkey Hearing Foundation and Jordin Sparks deliver the gift of hearing to hundreds of underserved children in the Miami area, Wednesday February 3rd, noon-4pm at the Eden Roc Renaissance Hotel in Miami during the Jordin's Super Bowl Experience.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 19, 2010 -
Press conference starts at 11:45am, prior to the mission. The “Super Hear” Mission, co-sponsored by Sparks Charities and the NFL Alumni, will welcome to the event Chuck Foreman, Lou Ferrigno, Larry Fitzgerald, Sam Moore, EJ Henderson, Leslie Nielsen, Bernard Berrian and more.

The Starkey Hearing Foundation, “So the World May Hear,” is the global leader in hearing health care and is striving to change the social consciousness of hearing.  Each year, the Foundation delivers more than 50,000 hearing aids through hearing missions in countries stretching from the U.S. to Vietnam.  Since 2000 and through the end of 2009, the Foundation has supplied 383,282 hearing aids to people in need.  In addition to giving the gift of hearing, the Foundation partners with the Grammy Foundation and Best Buy to promote hearing safety and prevention through its National program, Soundmatters.  Aligning its message with great musical artists, like Jordin Sparks and David Archuletta has become a natural fit for the organization.

“There is no greater gift than to help a child smile, laugh, sing, read, learn and grow - basically having the life that is unavailable due to a hearing disability,” says Bill Austin, Chief Executive Officer of Starkey Laboratories and Founder of the Starkey Hearing Foundation.  According to the Starkey Foundation, an estimated 63 million children worldwide suffer from hearing loss.

The "Super Hear" Mission is sponsored by Sparks Charities, NFL Alumni, Comcast, Nickelodean, Clear Channel Miami, NRA, Sproutloud, CallSource, University of Miami Medical School and Starke Hearing Foundation
