Hearing the Call — Central Texas
Hearing the Call Central Texas was founded to bring the gift of hearing to under-served individuals and families in our community. Too often, hearing loss creates barriers to education, employment, relationships and overall well-being. Through local volunteers, donors and hearing healthcare professionals, we provide access to life-changing hearing care that many would otherwise be unable to afford.
Our work is rooted in compassion, dignity and empowerment — helping people reconnect with loved ones, engage fully in life and discover new opportunities. Together, we are breaking the silence for Central Texans in need.

Mission, vision and promise
Our Mission
To provide quality hearing healthcare to low-income and under-served individuals in Central Texas, restoring connection, confidence and community through better hearing.
Our Vision
That no person in Central Texas is prevented from fully participating in life because of hearing loss.
Our Promise
Hearing testing, affordable hearing aids and ongoing support for under-served families and individuals in Central Texas — so everyone has the chance to hear, communicate and thrive.
The need
1 in 5 Americans has hearing loss to an extent that interferes with communication. No one should miss out on participating fully in life because of hearing loss. Untreated hearing loss has a devastating impact on individuals, families and communities — and Medicare does not cover the cost of treating hearing loss, nor do many health insurance plans.
Our give-back model
Qualified participants take part in a simple give-back model as a way to say thank you to the local companies, families and friends who donate for their care:
- Show proof of financial need
- Pay a small fee for hearing devices
- Give back volunteer hours in the community
