Little Ears, Big Potential — Changing How South Africa Listens

Loading player...
In this powerful episode of The Social Impact Show with Samm Marshall, we speak to Jessica McGuire, Director and Founder of Hope Hear and a leading voice in the Hold My Hand Community, about transforming how South Africa supports children with hearing loss.

Every day, babies are born with hearing challenges — yet too many remain undiagnosed and unsupported. Jessica shares how early hearing screening, family education, and inclusive communication can open up a world of opportunity for children and families alike.

This conversation goes beyond health — it’s about equality, connection, and giving every child the right to be heard.

🎧 An inspiring discussion about awareness, access, and advocacy — reminding us all that inclusion starts with listening.
