On behalf of my fellow Board members and staff of the Center for Hearing and Communication (CHC), I am honored to report on the accomplishments and financial status of our agency for the fiscal year 2013, representing the time period from July 1, 2012 – June 30, 2013.

MissionFor over a century, CHC has worked to enable people with hearing loss to lead full and independent lives. A longstanding leader in the field of hearing rehabilitation, we have empowered hundreds of thousands, set standards for hearing accessibility, and developed widely accepted best practices.

We continue to be flexible and responsive to the needs of our diverse population, and in doing so, during FY2013, the board of CHC adopted a new mission statement to expand our service offerings and address the needs of people with auditory processing disorders and listening challenges.

ImpactOur impact over the past year has been profound. With a blend of unsurpassed clinical expertise and generous donor support, CHC, as a Center of Excellence, has continued to transform lives of people of all ages with hearing loss and auditory challenges.

Highlights of our accomplishments this year include:

With generous foundation support, CHC established the Center for Hearing and Aging to address the growing body of research linking untreated hearing loss in the elderly to increased cognitive problems.

With private foundation funding, CHC’s mobile audiology unit provided hearing screenings for nearly 3,000 children and adults. Over 700 seniors at community centers across New York City received hearing screenings and complete hearing evaluations and participated in educational workshops emphasizing the importance of hearing healthcare for overall physical, cognitive and emotional well-being.

With increased efficiencies in place, state of the art technology and unwavering compassionate care, CHC audiologists managed over 10,000 visits and dispensed almost 1,000 hearing aids. Taking the time that is truly needed, CHC’s staff served everyone, regardless of their ability to pay.

CHC has continued to serve as a trustworthy and vital resource for consumers around the globe, and for teachers and other healthcare professionals. Executive Director, Laurie Hanin, was elected to the Board of Directors of NYSSLHA, influencing audiology policy and practices statewide, while our resident pediatric audiology expert, Anita Stein-Meyers, traveled to Nicaragua on a mission to test hearing and fit hearing aids on children who so desperately needed this help. Over the past year, we have seen families come to our Center of Excellence

from India, Israel, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Finland, Mexico, Singapore, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Japan for comprehensive hearing healthcare, all found under one roof and delivered with a level of expertise and compassion unmatched anywhere.

Financial LandscapeIn these times of global economic uncertainty and increasing demand for philanthropic dollars, assessing our effectiveness is more important than ever. I am pleased to report that during FY2013, approximately 77% of our fundraising revenue directly supported programs and services, a level recommended and accepted for nonprofit management and fundraising activities. The Board and Senior Management continue to monitor this ratio of program to administrative expenses, always seeking to be efficient, to maximize our resources and to ensure both clinical excellence and the judicial spending of donor funds. We are extremely grateful to those donors and government agencies that have made a remarkable investment in the lives of so many coping with hearing loss and have enabled CHC to achieve its mission.

FutureAs we move forward, we will continue to respond to the changes around us in hearing healthcare. We have developed clear strategies for achieving our clinical objectives and are building partnerships to collaborate with other nonprofit organizations to expand our reach. Our commitment to clinical excellence is steadfast and is a part of our legacy that has become synonymous with our name.

It is the unique blend of compassionate care and visionary donor support that allows CHC to continue to make a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of individuals and families coping with hearing loss and auditory challenges and allows us to be here for anyone who crosses our threshold at 50 Broadway or in our office in Florida and now for anyone who crosses our virtual threshold. None of this would be possible without the incredibly talented team of CHC professionals.

Day in and day out, I am inspired by the stories of the lives we touch. I am inspired by the dedication of our extraordinary professional team, and I am inspired by the tireless effort and commitment of our Board, with whom I have the privilege of working.

The challenges of a turbulent economy have been felt worldwide, and CHC has not been spared. But we have faced these challenges head-on, established a strategic course for continued long-term success, and invite you to join us in perpetuating our mission – one as vitally relevant today as it was more than 100 years ago.

Purpose

In response to a growing body of

research showing a link between

untreated hearing loss and an

increased risk of developing cognitive

impairments, CHC formed the

Center for Hearing and Aging

in December, 2012.

This vital resource is changing how

healthcare providers address the

interrelated issues of hearing loss and

cognitive decline so that seniors with

hearing loss stay more connected to life.

Cornerstones

Educational outreach to families,

caregivers and healthcare providers

SoundMind program, a suite of

clinical services addressing hearing,

emotional and cognitive health

Mobile hearing services for at-risk

seniors in underserved neighborhoods

Impact

Educational programs with more than

20 of NYC’s leading geriatric centers

Planned outreach to 88,000 members

of the Alzheimer’s Association,

NYC Chapter

Hundreds of low-income seniors receive

urgently needed hearing healthcare

“One-third of people over the age of 65 and

two-thirds over 75 have a hearing loss. And while

90% of hearing loss is treatable, most seniors who

could benefit from hearing aids don’t use them.

Given the link between hearing loss and cognitive

function, this invisible disability poses a growing

threat to our country’s aging population.”

Laurie Hanin, Ph.D., CCC-A CHC’s Executive Director

The Center for Hearing and Aging is made possible in part through private funding from Shelley and Steven Einhorn, the Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation, and the Eleanor Schwartz Charitable Foundation.

“The Center for Hearing and Communication is such a vital part of support systems for seniors and their caregivers . . . helping our communities learn more about the programs and benefits that affect their everyday lives.” New York State Senator Liz Krueger

Researcher Dr. Frank Lin honored at The 19th Annual Feast.

Purpose

Demand for services at CHC’s Auditory

Processing Center grew sharply in FY 2013

as awareness of auditory processing disor-

der (APD) and related listening challenges

increased among healthcare professionals,

educators and parents.

CHC has been a global leader in promoting

awareness of APD and the toll it can take on

children’s language and social skills. On a

clinical front , we’ve redefined best practic-

es with the application of rigorous diagnos-

tic techniques and innovative therapies.

Cornerstones

State-of-the-art diagnostic and

therapeutic services

Educational outreach to parents,

educators and healthcare professionals

Care available to low-income families

through foundation funding

Impact

1,181 client visits to the Auditory

Processing Center in FY 2013

CHC presented at more than 30

educational forums including the

ASHA Conference of speech therapists

and audiologists

Dozens of underprivileged families

gained access to care at no cost to them

The work of the Auditory Processing Center was supported, in part, by The Tommy Hilfiger Foun-dation and the Edith Glick Shoolman Children’s Foundation.

“Children who have auditory processing disorder (APD)

have normal physiological hearing but an inability to

process sounds. Symptoms of APD can mimic hearing

loss, ADD and other learning disorders and, left

untreated, can have a devastating impact on learning

and development.” Lois Kam Heymann, M.A., CCC-SLP Director, Auditory Processing Center

“I feel so blessed

and grateful to have

something like this

happen to me.”

Purpose

Families dealing with the challenges

of hearing loss – particularly parents

of deaf and hard of hearing infants – have

an urgent need for up-to-date information

so they can make informed decisions to

guide treatment and intervention.

Since 2005, the Family Resource Center

has served thousands of families in

desperate need of information as well

as guidance, compassion, community

and services.

Cornerstones

Educational materials, workshops ,

and directory of resources

Parents’ networking forum to promote

peer learning

Counseling and support groups

Access to clinical expertise through

Ask the Experts

Impact

Parents’ sense of uncertainty and

hopelessness gives way to understanding

and optimism

Families learn advocacy techniques

to ensure their child’s classroom is

fully accessible

Individuals new to the world of hearing

loss as well as those more experienced

come together for mutual support

The Family Resource Center’s programs and services are made possible, in part, by the gener-ous support of the J. C. Kellogg Foundation.

“Kevin and I both feel that CHC is more than just a center that provides services for the hearing impaired . . . it is a community.”

A CHC parent

“Words cannot express our deep appreciation and

gratitude for the professionalism, expertise and

loving care you’ve shown our family. The minute

we contacted your agency, when our daughter was

nine weeks old, we breathed a sigh of relief. Now,

five years later, many, many thanks for giving her

the tools to lead a successful life filled with unlim-

ited opportunities.” A CHC family

I can better under-stand what my mother and father are saying to me. The Center for Hear-ing and Communication has given me the ability to hear better than ever before!” A young adult CHC client

“We just want to say that we were so happy leaving the center. [My partner] and I discussed on our way home what a positive experience we had. Literally, every single person we came in contact with was fantastic!” Parents of a newly diagnosed child with hearing loss.
