ABOUT

As part of its #MakeMusicChange initiative, music streaming service Spotify partnered with Starkey Hearing Foundation in November 2014 to provide hundreds of people with hearing aids in Puerto Princesa, Philippines. So far, Spotify has helped Starkey Hearing Foundation give the gift of hearing to more than 900 people, and is working with its community of users to reach its goal of 1,000. Part of the outreach effort included the production of the short film, “First Song,” which details the experience of three Philippine locals and how music touched their lives for the first time.
