My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been a member since 2016 and the Diablo Valley Chapter of the Hearing Loss Association has helped me greatly in dealing with my very severe hearing loss. The chapter has monthly meetings where topics of interest to and useful for people with hearing loss are presented and discussed. In addition they have social events where people with similar problems can get together and exchange information on strategies to cope with their disability. The president of the chapter, Ann Thomas, is a dynamic and knowledgeable person who has helped many members with their hearing problems.

I am a long time member of the Diablo Valley Chapter of the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAADV). It is a fabulous non-profit organization devoted to helping hard-of-hearing people. It has monthly meetings where knowledgeable experts give presentations on topics of interest to our community. These include available technology to help people with hearing loss, new technological developments, medical procedures, coping with hearing loss, etc. We also have had support group meetings where we discuss challenges and strategies to alleviate the issues facing us. In addition, the organization strongly supports advocacy for providing accommodation for people in our community.

Hearing Loss Association of America - Diablo Valley Chapter (HLAADV) is a great organization helping hard-of-hearing folks in the Diablo Valley area. It is a non-profit staffed by volunteers and is dedicated to aiding people, forming a community, and bringing new ideas and information on technology that can help people with hearing loss. It hosts a monthly meeting with guest speakers that cover a wide variety of topics from advances in hearing aids to cochlear implants to safety devices for the hard-of-hearing. The president of the chapter, Ann Thomas, is a dynamic and very knowledgeable person who is committed to assisting our community. I have been a member of HLAADV for several years and I know from personal experience how much it has helped me. My wife, who is not hard-of-hearing, is also an enthusiastic supporter of this organization since it has helped both of us in communication and understanding of the problems associated with hearing loss.
