Yaduraj Choudhary
Yaduraj was born with congenital hearing loss. By the age of 15, he had undergone seven surgeries to restore his hearing. Throughout his childhood, he faced not only the physical challenges of hearing loss but also the social stigma that came with it — the bullying, the isolation, and the feeling of being different.
But rather than let those experiences define him, Yaduraj chose to transform them into something meaningful. In 2020, he founded 3 Tiny Bones — named after the three smallest bones in the human body: the malleus, incus, and stapes, which make hearing possible.
“Growing up, the hardest part wasn’t the surgeries or the hearing aids — it was feeling like I didn’t belong. I started 3 Tiny Bones so no kid would ever have to feel that way because of their hearing.”— Yaduraj Choudhary, Founder
What started as a small awareness campaign quickly grew into a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Today, 3 Tiny Bones works at the intersection of health education, youth empowerment, and advocacy — reaching thousands of students and communities across the country.
The organization’s work has been recognized by the Governor of Pennsylvania, the U.S. Senate, and numerous national organizations. From school assemblies to legislative advocacy, 3 Tiny Bones is changing how the world thinks about hearing health.
At its core, 3 Tiny Bones is guided by a simple belief: that every young person deserves to understand, protect, and celebrate their hearing — and that no one should ever be made to feel less because of hearing loss.
