Mission Statement
The Children’s Hearing Institute is a non-profit organization founded in 1983 by Simon C. Parisier, MD, his wife Elaine, and a group of visionary individuals. Our mission is to fund programs to benefit infants and children with deafness, hearing loss and other auditory disorders in order to:
- Provide them with hearing
- Empower them to develop essential auditory, speech and language skills commensurate with their hearing peers
- Enable them to achieve academic success and join the mainstream of education
The funds we raise support a “Whole Child” approach, enabling The Beth Israel/New York Eye & Ear Cochlear Implant Center to provide long-term educational support and guidance to children with hearing loss and their families. The Children’s Hearing Institute also funds basic science and clinical research programs at the cutting edge of educational, scientific and technological advances to enable all children to hear.
