Increasing access to hearing healthcare, treatments, technology, and training in high-need communities locally and worldwide.
House Children’s Hearing Center
Comprehensive hearing center devoted to the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of the full spectrum of hearing conditions in children, from birth to 20 years of age.
Howard P. House founded the institute in 1946 as the Los Angeles Foundation of Otology, a private nonprofit hearing research and education facility with the goal of creating a world where “all may hear.”
From physical challenges like balance disorders to social challenges like reduced academic achievement, hearing loss can have a debilitating impact on all areas of life. World Health Organization estimates that by 2050, 1 in 10 people will have debilitating hearing loss. We are on a mission to change that.
