We are excited to announce that Seattle Seahawks player and Superbowl XLVIII champion Derrick Coleman - the NFL's first deaf offensive player - has become an official hearing ambassador for Starkey Hearing Technologies.
Coleman, who has worn Starkey products since beginning his career in the NFL, was the first to be fit with a new hearing technology that is specifically designed for use with iPhone technology.
A hearing aid wearer since childhood, the 23-year-old Superbowl champion's story captured the attention of the world when a commercial about his life's journey to the NFL went viral, amassing well over 22 million views. Coleman's penned response to hearing-impaired girls who wrote to him in response to seeing the commercial captured the hearts of millions.
I am proud to be associated with Starkey Hearing Technologies.

Communication tips
Things you can do to help your family member with hearing loss to communicate better with those around them.
Shop local, buy local
Invest in your own community. Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community; they are less likely to leave, and more invested in the future of the community and the quality of service that goes along with the purchase. Buying local from the small business owner is what makes our town a "hometown."
Let's fix those old hearing aids!
A lot of us have hearing aids sitting in our drawers that, for whatever reason, are no longer being used in our ears, but are taking up space in a drawer instead.
