amplify Non-Profit Inclusion Tech

What amplify Non-Profit Inclusion Tech does

Amplify is a Swiss non-profit association (Verein) that develops digital resources to help parents, teachers, caregivers, and healthcare professionals support children affected by hearing loss. The organization was founded by Julia Carneiro after her youngest son was diagnosed with severe hearing loss, and operates with a mission to use digitalization to break barriers to knowledge sharing and create more inclusive learning experiences, particularly for underserved populations in less wealthy countries.

The company's core product is an online learning platform paired with a mobile application that delivers self-learning materials — videos, tutorials, and worksheets — built on best-practice therapy approaches and up-to-date scientific research. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the digital platform, with awareness raised through social media campaigns, expert-driven content (including psychologist interviews), and corporate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (D&I) initiatives with multinational corporations. The organization has established strategic mutual partnerships with clinical and advocacy organizations: ZGSZ (Centre for Hearing and Speech), Sonos (Swiss Association for Hearing Impairment), SVEHK (Swiss association of parents with hearing-impaired children), and the international GPODHH coalition.

Amplify's revenue model is donation-based rather than commercial; all digital resources are intended to be freely available. The organization operates from Switzerland with a stated global footprint and no geographic restrictions on access, targeting a WHO-estimated addressable population of 34 million children and over 400 million people living with moderate-to-higher severity hearing loss globally, against an estimated $90 billion annual global cost of unaddressed hearing loss.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• MED-EL: Global hearing-implant manufacturer that publishes parent and educator resources on hearing loss and rehabilitation therapy. Comparable as a developer of hearing-loss educational content, though embedded within a commercial medical-device business rather than a stand-alone non-profit.
• Phonak: Global hearing-aid manufacturer with a long-running pediatric hearing-care program (Phonak Pediatrics) that publishes parent-facing educational content on hearing loss. Comparable as a producer of best-practice therapy resources for parents of children with hearing loss, though funded by hearing-aid sales.
• Cochlear Foundation: Philanthropic arm of Cochlear Limited (a global hearing-implant manufacturer). Delivers educational resources and programs for recipients and families of children with hearing loss — comparable mission area but backed by a commercial manufacturer with substantially greater funding and reach than amplify.
• Oticon Foundation: Charitable foundation associated with Oticon/Demant that funds hearing-loss research, education, and awareness initiatives. Comparable mission area with greater capital base as it sits within a hearing-aid conglomerate's philanthropic arm.
• Starkey Hearing Foundation: U.S.-based non-profit associated with Starkey Hearing Technologies, focused on hearing-care access and hearing-loss education globally. Comparable global hearing-loss education mission with greater scale, funding, and operational footprint than amplify.

Direct peers

• Hands & Voices: Non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families with deaf/hard-of-hearing children through parent-driven guidance, education, and advocacy. Closely mirrors amplify's parent-community-led model and mission to provide information and resources to families navigating hearing loss.
• Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA): U.S. consumer advocacy non-profit providing education, support, and resources for people with hearing loss. Comparable as a non-profit delivering hearing-loss information resources and community support, though it serves a broader (all-ages) population than amplify's children-focused mission.
• National Association of the Deaf (NAD): U.S. civil-rights advocacy organization for the deaf and hard of hearing community that publishes educational resources and policy guidance. Comparable as a non-profit authority in hearing-loss information and community advocacy, though more advocacy-focused than amplify's therapy-resource focus.
• Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (AG Bell): U.S.-based non-profit focused on listening, spoken language, and educational support for children with hearing loss. Highly comparable to amplify as a parent/educator-facing non-profit delivering hearing-loss educational resources, though it operates at greater scale and in a different geography.

Emerging players

• World Health Organization HearWHO: WHO's HearWHO app is a free mobile hearing-screening and awareness tool. Comparable as a free, science-backed digital tool targeting hearing-loss awareness and early detection — partial overlap with amplify's mobile-app-based hearing-loss education mission.
