Mischa Barton is one of the newest Hollywood stars to join the growing list of ambassadors for the Hear the World initiative.
Barton joins actress Diane Kruger (Troy), Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight) and rocker Billy Idol in helping the non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about the issue of hearing and hearing loss.
All have been photographed by Bryan Adams in the signature Hear the World pose — with one hand behind one ear, symbolizing conscious hearing.
Kruger was the cover model for the October issue of the Hear the World magazine, which addresses the subject of hearing and sound through a broad range of topics ranging from music, art and nature. The magazine is supported by the Hear the World initiative, which is dedicated to raising awareness about hearing.
Researchers at John Hopkins University estimate that 55 million Americans have hearing loss in one or both ears. One out of six, or 29 million adults, have some trouble discerning speech, more than previous estimates, they reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Current Hear the World ambassadors include Lindsay Lohan, Amy Winehouse, Mick Jagger, Eric Roberts, Harry Belafonte and Annie Lennox, among others.
Hear the World magazine is published quarterly and is available at select newsstands and at airports internationally for $8 an issue. A free copy of the magazine can be ordered at www.hear-the-world.com. Net proceeds of the magazine benefit the Hear the World Foundation.
Hear the World is a global initiative by hearing device manufacturer Phonak created to raise awareness about the importance of hearing. In the context of the Hear the World initiative, Phonak has established the non-profit Hear the World Foundation to improve the quality of life of people with hearing loss through financial and technical assistance. The foundation is committed to the prevention of hearing loss as well as the support of people with hearing loss and their families.
Hello Mischa,
I’m so sorry, but I was to busy and I couldn’t post here for you.
Same mistake, again… I know, but I’m here to say I love you so much.
I’m alone, far from you, phisically, but you’re in my heart.
I’m screaming at the top of my heart voice.
I believe you’ll answer me and I respect it.
Mischa, when I was a child I was singing “Heaven”, from Bryan Adams and, at least until now, I didn’t understand why that. Today I know: ’cause you reaaly love it.
Since we’ve been children our lives found each other peace, love, friendship…
I love you so much Mischa.
Don’t feel alone, because I’m with you. I’m here to hold you in my arms and hear when you cry.
Remember that: I’ll be always with you.
My heart will be with you.
My arms will hold you at sadness.
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you
Then, the song I post for you is “Because you loved me”, singed by Celine Dion
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I’ll be forever thankful baby
You’re the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You’re the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I’m grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith cause you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You’ve been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
Now, “My love”, by Celine Dion, too.
My love we have seen it all
The endless confession
The rise & fall
As fragile as a child
But lately I’m sorry
I can’t hold a smile
But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard
I try to hide
How did you know I’d take the time for you?
Did you know that I could see you through?
How did you know that I would play the part?
I must have made it clear right from the start
My love can you give me strength?
Some how I forgot how to ease my pain
I know I’m right where I belong
But Somethin for nothin never proved me wrong
But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard
I try to hide
How did you know I’d take the time for you?
Did you know that I could see you through?
How did you know that I would play the part?
I must have made it clear right from the start
See I would share my whole life with you
Would you do the same for me?
I would give all I am to you
Would you do the same for me?
Yes I’ll stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
You could you see?
I could break
Did you notice all my mistakes?
There were times that I felt you read my mind
How did you know I’d take the time for you?
And did you know that I could see you through?
Did you know that I would play that part?
I know I made it clear right from the start….
