In 2006, Delta Zeta’s National Convention voted to make Starkey Hearing Foundation a philanthropic partner. In 2015, Delta Zeta name Starkey Hearing Foundation as our National Philanthropy Partner. Delta Zeta chapters across the nation fundraise in order to provide hearing aids for those who are hearing impaired. Through the efforts of the Starkey Hearing Foundation and our organization, over 175,000 hearing aids are distributed annually in more than 100 countries.

​

Delta Zeta's completion of a five-year, five million dollar Heart for Hearing and Speech goal assisted the Starkey Hearing Foundation in giving over 500,000 hearing aid fittings; creating a global recipient base; building 70 programs around the globe; creating an After Care program; training and educating governments on hearing, hearing loss and hearing aids; initiating seven national hearing healthcare plans; and building the Starkey Hearing Institute in Lusaka, Zambia.
