Our meetings are educational, informative, and supportive. Our meetings provide an opportunity for people with hearing loss to meet and socialize with other people with hearing loss.

Our discussion in December will be led by Jackie DiFrancesco (Doctoral candidate in Audiology at UConn,) who will explore relationships between hearing loss and other health conditions. Please join us for some helpful information and an opportunity to share some time with other people with hearing loss. Bring your family members, bring your friends.

Meetings are open to everyone, including family and friends of people with hearing loss. Meetings are captioned and an induction loop is available.

An interactive workshop with Jonathan O’Dell Technology Director, Mass. Commission for Deaf and Hard of Hearing

Tuesday, January 24, 2017, 7:00– 8:30 PM

Come early for coffee and conversation

Plymouth Public Library
132 South Street, Plymouth, MA

An expert on hearing loss, with two cochlear implants, Jon will talk about how individuals with hearing loss are affected by it and how it shapes their entire lives, and rarely in a positive and productive way. There is a whole side to hearing loss that is literally being swept under the rug. So let’s learn to think differently about hearing loss! If you have a hearing problem, you won’t miss a word of this talk. CART (real-time captioning) will be provided. For further information on hearing loss, go to: Hearingloss.org

The Mission of HLAA is to open the world of communication to people with hearing loss by providing information, education, support and advocacy. HLAA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit support group for people with hearing loss. All are welcome to attend.
