Already making a difference in the lives of the hearing disabled around the world, Matt Nathanson is ready to share an acoustic version of "Headphones" this month. With a powerful message and support from O.A.R., Chris Isaak, Train and more, the song catapulted to #2 on the Billboard Twitter Trending chart late last year. A volunteer trip to Peru, where he assisted the Starkey Hearing Foundation with fitting people for hearing aids, was the impetus to make the video which has all proceeds benefiting the foundation. Starkey Hearing Foundation uses hearing as a vehicle to reflect caring and change lives around the world. Disabling hearing loss affects more than 360 million people, including 32 million children, worldwide, yet many do not have access to the hearing devices that can help them. Starkey Hearing Foundation fits and gives more than 100,000 hearing aids annually, and as a member of President Clinton’s Global Initiative, it has pledged to fit one million hearing aids this decade. In addition to giving the gift of hearing through worldwide hearing missions, they also promote hearing health awareness and education through the Listen Carefully campaign and provides hearing instruments to low-income Americans through the Hear Now program.
