Starkey Hearing Technologies New Ambassador: Derrick Coleman

We are excited to announce that Seattle Seahawks player and Superbowl XLVIII champion Derrick Coleman - the NFL's first deaf offensive player - has become an official hearing ambassador for Starkey Hearing Technologies.

Coleman, who has worn Starkey products since beginning his career in the NFL, was the first to be fit with a new hearing technology that is specifically designed for use with iPhone technology.

A hearing aid wearer since childhood, the 23-year-old Superbowl champion's story captured the attention of the world when a commercial about his life's journey to the NFL went viral, amassing well over 22 million views. Coleman's penned response to hearing-impaired girls who wrote to him in response to seeing the commercial captured the hearts of millions.

I am proud to be associated with Starkey Hearing Technologies.
