About Human Bridge Hearing
We are a non-profit association based in Crans-Montana, in the Swiss canton of Valais. We exist so that no child with hearing loss, and no family, faces it alone.
Our mission
We work to improve prevention, screening, diagnosis, care, rehabilitation, education and social inclusion for children with hearing loss, and to support their families. We develop and support health, social, educational, scientific and humanitarian projects in Switzerland and abroad.

Why "Human Bridge"
A bridge joins two sides that could not reach each other. For a child with hearing loss, the other side can be a parent's voice, a teacher's lesson or a friend's joke. A bridge is also something people build together. Ours is made of families, health professionals, teachers, volunteers and donors. That is why we call it a human bridge.
