Matt Nathanson Helping Raise Awareness for the Hearing Impaired
. Nathanson recently made the 24-hour journey from San Francisco, Calif. to Huancayo, Peru to volunteer with the Foundation team and distribute over 1,000 hearing aids and after care to people in need. The resulting video of Matt's trip is not only a moving document of his time there, but also serves to raise funds for Starkey Hearing Foundation to continue their distribution efforts around the world. 100% of proceeds from the video are being donated to the Foundation by Matt and his label, Vanguard Records. The more the VEVO/YouTube link is posted and shared, the more funds they will receive. Nathanson says of the experience, "If I couldn't hear, I would be lost. Because I play music for a living, hearing is everything�It ignites something in you when you do work like this. I feel like this is the beginning of a life of giving back." "When we help someone hear, we provide a way for them to connect with others and experience the world around them," says Bill Austin, Founder of Starkey Hearing Foundation. "With the support of passionate partners and hearing angels like Matt Nathanson, we help people in need around the world reach their full potential and engage with the things, like music, that add color and joy to their lives."
