Our Mission at Wise Little Ears

An Audiologist’s Perspective

As a doctor of Audiology, I’ve dedicated my life’s work to raising the awareness of hearing health. The world is a noisy place, and many of us don’t realize the importance of hearing health care, or the detrimental impacts that noise-induced hearing loss can have on our lives. 

As a mom, I was inspired to create Wise Little Ears as a way to build tools, resources and ultimately a community around the importance of hearing protection for children. Raising two young girls, I know first hand how busy (and noisy) life can be. Caregivers should know that noise-induced hearing loss is 100% preventable and that it's never too early (or late) to start thinking about hearing protection and noise prevention strategies that will make a difference in their child’s life. 

Our mission is to educate caregivers to understand How Loud is Too Loud for How Long, and to properly use the strategy that is best for them to ensure a safe hearing space for their child.

Happy Hearing!

An Educator’s Perspective: 

As an educator and a mom to two boys, I admit that hearing is not something I thought much about until I met Mabel. But now that I understand how important hearing is to childhood development, I want to share it with every parent and caregiver who will listen.

I’m proud to be a part of Wise Little Ears because to me, it’s not enough just to make hearing protection available. Parents need simple, straightforward educational materials to know how and when to protect their child’s hearing.

At Wise Little Ears, our mission is to educate parents and caregivers to understand How Loud is Too Loud for How Long, and to properly use the strategy that is best for them to ensure a safe hearing space for their child.

Happy Hearing!
