Ohio Valley Voices

Ohio Valley Voices teaches children from birth to eight years old who are deaf or hard of hearing to listen, speak, and thrive. Through expert audiological, educational, and therapeutic services, we give children access to spoken language, and equip parents and caregivers with the knowledge and support needed for lifelong success.

Founded in 1999, OVV is a one-of-a-kind center in the Tristate region, providing specialized, evidence-based intervention for young children with hearing loss. We empower each child to use hearing technology to build spoken language skills and transition confidently into mainstream classrooms. Since opening our doors, we have served more than 750 individuals through our Loveland campus, and another 1,250 through outreach programs across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

OVV's outcomes are truly transformative. Children who begin the program before the age of three show remarkable results, with 83% achieving scores within normal limits on standardized language assessments and 82% score at or above grade level in reading. Children with additional disabilities demonstrate significant progress. In the long term, 86% of OVV graduates go on to pursue college or other post-secondary education. Because when a child learns to listen and speak, the world opens up — friendships, classrooms, careers, and a future filled with possibilities.
