Our Mission Is To Inspire The Public And Physicians To Take Action About Hearing Loss. The Better Hearing Institute is a 501(c)3, not-for-profit corporation which was created in 19XX to promote hearing healthcare across the United States. The organization is jointly funded by the manufacturers and suppliers who comprise the hearing industry in the U.S. Over the years, BHI has perhaps been best known as the producer of Public Service Announcements about hearing loss and the importance of appropriate treatment. Behind the scenes, BHI has operated a call center where consumers could ask questions about hearing loss, and the organization has distributed helpful brochures about specific subjects that were important to consumers. |
