Why should I donate to CDHH?
CDHH is the only organization in Wisconsin providing a full range of services for those with hearing loss, from infants to the elderly. This invaluable resource helps strengthen our community by providing children with a strong foundation for communication and helping adults learn how to remain independent throughout their lives.
Because hearing loss is invisible, you may not realize that it affects one in every 10 Americans and this number is on the rise. As the population ages, more and more people will need the kind of services and support the Center provides. Since hearing loss can negatively impact learning, employment, mental health and physical health, the ripple effect of undiagnosed or untreated hearing loss can be extensive. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) agency, the support of individuals, businesses and foundations is critical if CDHH is to continue to fulfill its mission.
