ABOUT Hearing Health MAGAZINE
Hearing Health is the ultimate consumer resource on hearing loss and tinnitus. Our award-winning magazine, the
largest on hearing loss and tinnitus, earned this position over three decades through the steadfast dedication
from staff, expert contributors, and collaborative support from advertisers. Hearing Health educates individuals
about the effects of hearing loss and tinnitus on health and quality of life, and aims to provide real-world solutions
based on the latest research and technology. Hearing Health is published quarterly by Hearing Health Foundation
(formerly Deafness Research Foundation), whose mission is to prevent and cure hearing loss and tinnitus through
groundbreaking research. Hearing Health Foundation’s Hearing Restoration Project is a unique research consortium
dedicated to finding a biologic cure for hearing loss and tinnitus.
