About

Empowerment Through Hearing (ETH) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that serves to increase awareness of the alarming rise of hearing loss in the U.S.

Over 35 million Americans have a significant hearing loss. Yet, 80% of those diagnosed do not seek help. This is due in part to denial, embarrassment or lack of awareness. We don’t know what we don’t hear.

Kathlyn Maguire founded ETH in 2004 after decades of experiencing a progressive hearing loss.
