Hearing loss affects 560 million people, worlwide. One in every three Americans has some measurable level of hearing loss. From the day we’re born, hearing impacts every part of our lives. The earlier hearing loss occurs in a child's life, the more serious the effects are on the child's development. Hearing is critical to speech, language development, and learning, and it is the means by which most of the world socializes and communicates. A child who falls behind in school, as a result of hearing difficulties, will continue to struggle into adulthood, and may withdraw from participating in all the opportunities that life has to offer. Early diagnosis and intervention lessens the long-term impact of hearing loss and can change people’s lives, getting them off the sidelines and in the game.

Children with hearing loss do not catch up without intervention, which often requires specialized audio and communication devices to facilitate learning. Unfortunately, due to technological limitations and electromagnetic interference, leading audio and communication devices are often unusaable by people with hearing loss, until now.

Able Planet, a leader in innovative technologies for people For All Levels of Hearing™ and hearing preservation, has developed a patent-pending technology called LINX AUDIO™ that alters the audio signal, and has clinically shown to enhance sound quality and improve speech intelligibility

Now, people with hearing loss are able to listen to music and audio books on CD, use portable dvd players and interactive computer software, and communicate on telephones and cell phones. Additionally, LINX AUDIO™ increases the perception of loudness without increasing volume, producing fuller, richer sounding music even at lower volumes. Full, rich sound at lower volumes may provide a means to get our children to "Turn it Down™".

Able Planet is joining together with Nonprofit Foundations to provide access to products, technologies and learning environments that will enable people For All Levels of Hearing™ to participate in the same activities, together, creating a world without barriers and limitation.
