During 2001, HearUs was established by parents of deaf children who have Cochlear Implants. Their vision is to assist children and adults to obtain a cochlear implant so as to facilitate their learning to speak and become part of the hearing world.
HearUs is registered and regulated as a non-profit organization and operates in close association with the Cochlear Implant Unit at Tygerberg Hospital – University of Stellenbosch in Cape Town.
