The Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) aims to advance hearing and balance research across the entire spectrum, focusing on underfunded areas of otology. Since 1958, it has supported the careers of academic researchers and clinicians in otolaryngology and related fields through funding and advocacy, emphasizing the importance of early-stage research for breakthroughs in understanding and treating hearing and balance disorders.
The Emerging Research Grants Program by the Hearing Health Foundation provides critical seed money for researchers in the broad domains of hearing and balance. Targeting early career researchers as well as those at other career stages, the program offers awards up to $50,000 for one year, renewable for a second, to foster innovation in otology. These grants support a wide array of research topics, from age-related hearing loss, general hearing health, auditory processing disorders, to the specifics of hyperacusis, Meniere’s Disease, tinnitus, and Usher Syndrome. Through a competitive selection process, recipients are chosen for their potential to contribute significantly to their fields and are well-poised for future federal funding, amplifying the impact of ERG's initial investment on hearing and balance research advancements.
