Our Year of Empowerment & Advocacy

EVENTS

Community is essential to supporting deaf and hard of hearing children and their families. Through family events like Cheers for Ears, Bowling with Friends, and cultural outings, FHSR creates opportunities for children, parents, and siblings to build friendships, share experiences, and feel connected. These gatherings help reduce stigma around hearing loss and assistive devices by bringing families together in welcoming, inclusive spaces.

Our Speaker Series shares timely research, best practices, and practical strategies for raising and educating children with hearing loss, equipping parents, caregivers, and professionals with valuable tools and resources.

Rock the Town For Hearing is FHSR’s annual fundraiser, raising awareness and critical support for the free programs and services we provide to children with hearing loss and their families.

Cheers & Beers for Ears also raises funds to support pediatric loaner hearing aid banks throughout Chicagoland.
