Each year, on the first Tuesday in May, we come together for Heart for Hearing and Speech Day, a special day to recognize the difference we make through our support of hearing and speech. This year on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, we invite you to join us in raising awareness, supporting Starkey Hearing Foundation, our global philanthropy partner, and celebrating the impact we can make together.
Heart for Hearing and Speech Day serves as a reminder that hearing health matters to everyone. Whether through personal action, community engagement or philanthropic support, every effort helps build a more connected world. In addition, through our partnership with Starkey Hearing Foundation, Delta Zeta helps provide hearing assistance to those in need while also supporting the training of hearing healthcare professionals around the world.
