Assuring a World Without Limits

Annual Report 2015

July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015

Dear Friends,

Hearing loss is fast growing, largely invisible, and fre-quently misunderstood. As President of the Center for Hearing and Communication (CHC), I have witnessed firsthand how our organization reaches thousands of people of all ages with hearing loss each year with criti-cal, high-quality and empowering services–care available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. From helping deaf babies learn to say their first words to supporting a senior to continue living independently, CHC transforms lives.

During the past year, CHC expanded mental health services to children in our newly named Baker Family Emotional Health and Wellness Center, thanks to the visionary gift of Heather and Felix Baker. With a magnanimous gift from Shelley and Steven Einhorn during our annual fundraiser, The Feast, we were able to increase our counseling program for parents of children with hearing loss, helping them to navigate the often-rocky road for our youngest clients. We also became the only facility in the Northeast to provide specialized audiological testing of the efficacy of hearing aids for deaf babies using recently obtained state-of-the-art technology.

During Fiscal Year 2015, more than 50% of our operational revenue came from fundraising, and I am pleased to report that we continued to demonstrate a prudent use of funds with 82% of our fundraising revenue going directly to support programs and services. Donors can feel confident that their contribu-tions are directly benefiting individuals and families in need and that we have found the optimal balance of clinical excellence and the judicious spending of philanthropic contributions.

I would also like to extend particular thanks and recognition to the CHC staff. These extraordinary individuals translate generous donations into the life-altering services CHC provides to our clients and patients. Over the past 34 years, I have been awed by our staff’s collective dedication and the quality of services they provide in an increasingly multi-disciplinary, holistic approach. It’s through their work that the “rubber meets the road.” So very many served by CHC have enhanced quality of life because of their efforts, and because of the donations that enable those efforts.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Center for Hearing and Communication, I would like to express my thanks to everyone who has contributed to the accomplishments of CHC during this past fiscal year.

Thank you for being part of the CHC community.

Barry FelderPresident, Board of Directors

In addition to state-of-the-art facilities in New York and Ft. Lauderdale, CHC has a mobile audiology unit that brings hearing health care to communities throughout New York City.

2015 Annual Report

2015 AchievementsThe Center for Hearing and Communication is committed to hearing health care of the highest caliber for people of all ages with hearing loss and listening and auditory challenges. Through a number of exciting developments in 2015, we enhanced our program offerings to better address the full range of client needs while continuing to make our services available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay.

New Pediatric ServicesOur children’s hearing and communication program in New York has long been regarded as the gold standard in auditory-oral habilitation. New staff and services ensure that, now more than ever, CHC supports children every step of the way in their listening, language, social-emotional and educational development.

• New Staff - Clinicians with expertise in education of the deaf, pre-post-implant training, language process-ing, and memory have joined the team at CHC along with a child psychologist available for child and family psychology assessments and counseling.

• New Services - Expanded pediatric services include a socials skills group, after-school tutoring, academic reinforcement therapy, classroom observations, self-advocacy training, in-services to schools, and a tod-dler music and rhythms group.

• Parent Support - Extended services for parents include a series of new parent workshops for “all ages and stages” as well as weekly parent/infant training groups.

While much has changed, CHC’s enduring emphasis on family-centered care remains at the heart of our children’s program. It is only with the participation of parents and other family members that CHC can successfully guide and support a child’s journey to hearing.

Cutting-Edge TechnologyHEARLab is a new technology at CHC that helps

audiologists provide hearing aid verification for babies and other individuals who cannot actively respond via conventional test methods. HEARLab enables us to do a better job at fitting hearing aids to our youngest clients. Currently CHC is the only facility in the Northeast with this specialized equipment.

CHC wishes to acknowledge the generous donation by Dr. Heather J. Bogdanoff Baker and Dr. Felix J. Baker that made the purchase of HEARLab possible.

Children’s auditory-oral habilitation at CHC includes group therapy facilitated by a speech-language pathologist and an audiologist, both with pediatric expertise.

HEARLab provides CHC audiologists with

information about how sound travels through the brain.

“We were so relieved to know that our baby was getting the full benefit from his hearing aids.” CHC Parent

New Look and FeelThe office in New York was refurbished in 2015 to better utilize space and create a more modern and client-friendly environment.

The Berelson Room, named after CHC President Irving Berelson, underwent a complete renovation, including the installation of a hearing loop donated by Sound Associates to make workshops and community meetings accessible to people with hearing loss. Other updates include a warm and welcoming children’s group room and family waiting area and a revitalized reception area.

Recognizing our role as an information resource for the community worldwide, CHC enhanced its online presence with the launch of a new, more contemporary website. Featuring improved naviga-tion and a bold visual style, the site has seen a 100% increase in visits since launching September, 2014.

Dorene Watkins, school psycholo-gist and coordinator of CHC’s family programs, conducts a psycho-educational evaluation.

A communication skills workshop in the Berelson Room offers strategies and techniques for better communication in difficult listening environments.

“CHC offered my family much needed support during an emotional transi-tion . . . As a parent, I no longer feel that I am going through this diagnosis of hearing loss alone.”

2015 Annual Report

Interdisciplinary ApproachCHC strengthened its interdisciplinary approach to hearing health care in 2015 with the appointment of audiologist Ellen Lafargue and speech-language pathologist Elizabeth Ying as Co-Directors of the Shelley and Steven Einhorn Audiology and Communi-cation Centers. Our aural habilitative and rehabilitative processes for children and adults now reflect an enhanced integration between the clinical disciplines. As a result, each child in our pediatric program benefits from the support of an interdisciplinary team made up of speech-language pathologists, an audiologist, teacher of the deaf, and a child psychologist, all of whom are dedicated to his or her development of age-appropriate listening, language, learning, and social skills.

Center for Hearing and AgingCHC’s Center for Hearing and Aging (CHA) provided education and mobile health care outreach to more than 1,500 seniors and health care professionals over the past year. With funding from Eleanor Schwartz Charitable Foundation, The Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation, and The George Link, Jr. Founda-tion, Inc., CHA served as a platform to promote, not only healthy hearing, but emotional wellness, cognitive function, safety and other quality-of-life benefits associ-ated with hearing health among seniors.

FloridaAfter-school educational programs at CHC in Ft. Lau-derdale positively impacted the lives of more than 100 children and teens who are deaf and hard of hearing. These ongoing programs focus on elementary, middle, and high school students, many of whom are at-risk youth in critical need of pro-social relationships with peers and adults. Support for younger kids stresses literacy, arts, and homework help while programs for older students focus on a successful transition into adulthood and vocational skills.

CHC marched in NYC’s first-ever Disabilities Pride Parade, July 12, 2015, with our friends at HLAA, NYC Chapter.

CHC kids in Florida who are deaf and hard of hearing take part in M.O.S.T. (Maximizing Out-of-School Time), a program that helps elementary-school-age children develop learning, literacy and social skills.

Jeff Wax, Director of the Baker Family Emotional Health and

Wellness Center, facilitates a health and wellness workshop for seniors.
