Review for Hearing Loss Association of America, Rockville, MD, USA
I became a member in 1996 and I continue with them. It is and was the only place I could get information about hearing aids and all the technology that could help me continue to be an active member of society. I am now 80 and I will continue with the local HLAA and with the national conventions when able. HLAA continues to exceed my expectations and those of thousands of people.
After learning of the organization I started my local group in Bel Air, MD, then later became a Board Member for the National HLAA, then went back to school and got my Masters Degree in Social Work from Gallaudet University, and after that I worked as the State Coordinator of Mental Health services in Nebraska. Then I became active in advocating for our rights at the National level with TDI, Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing as a Board member for 18 years. I am now retired but when called upon help advocate for our rights locally.
