My Nonprofit Reviews

HLAA has brought me together with people with hearing loss from around the country. I am not alone with my hearing loss, and that knowledge has helped the quality of my life. I am president of a chapter in California. I give presentations to community groups including libraries and senior facilities and see that I am empowering people to advocate for themselves. I feel like I am doing my part to make the world a better place for people with hearing loss. Our chapter also facilitates support groups in person and online. By people getting together, listening to each other, and sharing successes and challenges of living with hearing loss, we feel more connected and able to advocate for ourselves and others. We also get together for picnics and parties and small gatherings. HLAA provides the brochures, webinars, website, Walk4Hearing, advocacy that support our chapter. HLAA National convention every summer is a way to refresh, reconnect and renew.
