Mission: The Decibels Foundation’s mission is to ensure that: - children with hearing loss and their families receive specialized early intervention services; - they have access to necessary technology and equipment, and; - the professionals working with this population in school settings are knowledgeable about the challenges these children face and are supported in helping these students succeed both academically and socially. We fulfill this mission by funding early intervention programs for children with hearing loss and their families, such as the Minute Man Arc Early Intervention Program for Children with Hearing Loss in Concord. Decibels also helps to educate educators by offering workshops and training sessions for professionals who are working with children using hearing aids and cochlear implants in regular education settings.

It is through the Decibels' organization that we have learned about the challenges and advances in hearing loss. I have seen how tirelessly my sister-in-law works with Decibels and the great resources it has provided for my nephew. It is amazing for me to see the programs and the positive results they have provided. I never thought that my nephew would adapt as well as he has and I know that it is through the hard work of Decibels' organization.
