Do you know a hearing loss hero? Hearing aid manufacturer Oticon, Inc. has opened the call for nominations for the 2025 Oticon Focus on People Awards. This national program celebrates the inspiring individuals who are breaking barriers, creating opportunities and making meaningful contributions within the hearing loss community.

On Saturday, December 7th, Oticon Government Services, alongside Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) and various government and military officials, participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Marine Sgt. Craig Brady’s newly-built, specially adapted custom home in Holden, Massachusetts. Since 2017, Oticon Government Services has proudly supported HFOT’s mission of building and donating specially adapted custom homes for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans, enabling them to rebuild their lives.

Oticon President Gary Rosenblum and Mariann Cadieu, Executive Director, Oticon Hearing Foundation, visited Mary’s Place by the Sea. This respite home for women battling cancer received a generous donation raised through Demant staff volunteer efforts and sales promotions.

A $5,000 grant from Oticon, Inc. has enabled Sertoma International to award $1,000 college scholarships to five exceptional students with hearing loss.
