Why Listen Carefully Needed a Renewed Voice

With more than 44 million Americans experiencing hearing loss, awareness, education, and advocacy have never been more important. Listen Carefully, an initiative by Starkey, set out facilitate greater connection between hearing health professionals and policymakers, but its existing website wasn’t amplifying their message.

Outdated design, dense information, and limited interactivity made it difficult for users to find resources or take meaningful advocacy action.

Building a Platform for Action

L-A Advertising partnered with Starkey to reimagine ListenCarefully.org as a dynamic digital advocacy hub. The new site encourages exploration, learning, and engagement across four key pillars of hearing health:

Over-the-counter hearing aids, hearing protection, the hearing health model, and Medicare coverage.

Key upgrades included:

  • User-centered design with intuitive navigation and content structures tailored to patients, professionals, and advocates.

  • Streamlined resources that simplify complex information and provide clear pathways to act.

  • Integrated advocacy tools, including the Voter Voice platform, enabling visitors to directly connect with policymakers and support hearing health legislation in seconds.

A Website That Inspires Connection

This wasn’t just a redesign, it was about transforming passive visitors into active voices for change. Clear calls to action, modern visuals, and thoughtful storytelling made advocacy accessible for everyone, from patients learning about hearing aids to professionals pushing for policy reform.

Real Results

  • Higher engagement: Users can now explore educational resources and interactive legislation.

  • Simplified navigation: Visitors can quickly locate tools and local policy updates.

  • Faster, more effective advocacy: “Voter Voice” integration has empowered users across multiple states to amplify hearing health awareness and policy impact.

What Was Learned

  • Empower users with the means to drive real-world action.

  • Pair organized design with purpose-driven storytelling.

  • Dynamic advocacy tools make engagement as easy as a single click.

Moving Forward

Listen Carefully stands as proof that when technology meets empathy, advocacy grows stronger by giving every user, from patients to policymakers, a clear way to act.

Phase 2 will introduce several new initiatives designed to expand education and engagement. These include the launch of a regularly updated blog with ongoing articles, the debut of the U.S. State Ambassadors Program, and new interactive tools such as an online hearing test and a hearing professional locator to connect users with their nearest audiologist.
