We have always been incredible at building relationships. We are and will continue to be focused on the individual, their story, their needs and affordability. The feedback obtained over the past ten years continues to point to lack of trust in the hearing health industry. We help to build trust by being a conduit between the story and the hearing care industry/professionals.
This team will consist of a group of individuals described in the personnel section below. People who have walked this journey and are personally knowledgeable. There will be technology that maps a person in need to the right care professional. This group will heavily focus on the top and middle portions of the funnel of those tested with our outreach. More details on this team is coming.

Eden means "paradise or a place of pristine, abundant beauty". Eden, Jamaica, nestled in the mountains outside of Montego Bay, is just that. However, there are little to no resources for hearing and speech solutions for those who live in this country with hearing loss and deafness. Upon an initial visit a few years ago to the Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf, Jaime knew we had to create opportunities for these children and this country to begin a system of hearing healthcare. Each summer, we bring a team of volunteers, audiologists and donated Phonak hearing aids to the students of Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf.
We are expanding our efforts in Jamaica to create our international model. Jamaica has one audiologist. ONE. We are taking our outreach methodologies and procedures and expand them to our international outreach.
