The Decibels Foundation

The Decibels Foundation’s mission is to provide specialized early intervention, educational services, family support, and access to essential technologies for children with hearing loss from infancy through high school. We fulfill this mission by funding early intervention programs for children with hearing loss and their families, such as the Minute Man Arc Early Intervention Program for Children with Hearing Loss in Concord. Decibels also helps to educate educators by offering workshops and training sessions for professionals who are working with children using hearing aids and cochlear implants in regular education settings. Today, we are also able to reach children with hearing loss and their families in the care of the Department of Otolaryngology and Communication Enhancement at Children’s Hospital Boston through our partnership with Jeff and Mandy Bass of the Caroline Bass Fund. Combined, the Decibels Foundation and the Caroline Bass Fund at Children’s Hospital have invested nearly a million dollars to help children with hearing loss.
