Justin Osmond was born with a severe/profound sensorial-neural hearing loss.  Diagnosed at the age of 2, he finally got to hear life's precious sounds for his very first time.  Considering the fact that he was a couple years behind his peers, he has shown, through a series of intense dedication and mental/physical exertion, that nothing can stop him from going after his dreams.  

After 12 years of intense speech/listening therapy, he can now speak with passion and hear with conviction.  There were many obstacles and challenges that represented stumbling blocks, despair and lack of hope.  But his will-power determination, desire, and hope surpassed all hurdles that stood in his way.

Justin went on to play four instruments and has received numerouse awards, such as the prestigious sterling scholarship in music, academic scholarships, honorary achievements, and many athletic titles in soccer, football, basketball, and track.  He is also proud to represent the Boy Scouts of America as an Eagle Scout and currently has his Masters in Business Administration (MBA) 

Justing currently serves as public relations, board member, and a spokesperson for the Starkey Hearing Foundation.  He continues to travel the world with one object in mind:  To leave Better Hearing Smiles behind.

Justin knows first-hand what it is like to live in a world without sound.  He shares his story with the world in order to help all people understnad the struggles of being hearing imparired and how to overcome them.  He lives by his personal motto, "I may have a hearing loss, but that hearing loss does not have me."
