Call our gift in Wills teamNextSense has been redefining what’s possible for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind or have low vision, for more than 160 years. We’ve achieved so much. But there’s so much left to do.
With your gift, we can use our innovative approaches and research-based techniques to change the way all children with hearing and vision loss access education. We can grow our world-leading cochlear implant program to give the gift of sound to more children and adults who are born deaf, or who lose their hearing over time. We can offer more life-changing therapy to support people right throughout their lives.
