About HearMe.my
Supporting children with hearing impairment and their families across Malaysia since 2012.
How We Started
In 2012, a group of parents of children with hearing impairment came together with a shared vision: to create a supportive community where both children and their families could thrive.
What began as informal support meetings in living rooms quickly grew into structured programs as more families joined. By 2014, HearMe.my was officially registered as a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for and supporting children with hearing impairment across Malaysia.
Our founders understood that hearing loss affects not just the child but the entire family unit. They recognized the need for comprehensive support, education, and resources for parents navigating this journey.
