Internationally
Internationally we work with the Starkey Hearing Foundation to give the gift of hearing to millions of people world-wide. Dr. Neil has participated in the Guadalajara Mexico mission trip in 2013, Rwanda and Kenya Africa in 2014 and Chiclayo Peru in 2015. He plans on traveling to the Philippians in fall of 2017. A portion of the proceeds of each hearing aid fitted in our offices are donated to the Starkey Hearing Foundation to support these efforts.
Locally
We additionally work with the Hearing Foundation's domestic chapter by being a partner clinic for Hear Now. We fit over 50 low income patients locally annually with hearing aids complimentary of the Hear Now foundation and the donation of CBHCs Doctors, resources, and time.
