Help Me Hear Foundation is a public charity that gives the gift of hearing to deaf children from families existing on very low incomes around the world．The foundation offers life-changing services for impoverished families, and provides real help for children with hearing impairment who may otherwise be left behind in schools or society due to their lack of hearing．
