Yes, 'we just have to do that'. How involved are you in HLAA? How do you support HLAA? How about the AGBell Association? Or Hearing Health Foundation? Or AARP? Do you support these organizations financially or through active personal involvement?
These organizations give people with hearing loss a voice, but that voice, which is dependent on support from the people they represent can only do so much.
How do you feel about manufacturers and sellers of hearing products advertising 'invisibility' which tells people they should not let anyone see they are using hearing technology? Why is there so much stigma about hearing loss?
The organizations mentioned above are all doing a great deal to open doors. However, it is the PEOPLE who have hearing loss that have to provide support.
The national HLAA convention was outstanding. Did you consider attending?

Always good to hear from you.
I keep on saying I am going to attend an HLAA meeting and have not done so. I will try to attend the next one. Shame on me.
Why do people with hearing loss not speak up?
There are certainly enough of us out there.
Auracast should be required in every venue it makes sense to put in in.
Restaurants should be required to keep the background music to a minimum.
We have to start advocating for ourselves better. A lawyer in Denver is suing all restaurants that are not handicap accessible. Maybe we should do the same thing for people with hearing loss.
Why don’t people speak up? I don’t understand it.
