Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

My name is Ed Schickel. I have had some degree of un-diagnosed hearing loss since childhood. I started wearing hearing aids in 1991 and had a cochlear implant about 10 years ago. I have been active in HLAA since 2001 and I am the current editor of our HLAA chapter website . I have attended many HLAA conventions and currently do presentations on hearing loss issues.

Hi @edschickel and welcome to Connect.
I am hearing so many positive things about HLAA, I wish there was one closer to me. The closest is over an hour away and has meetings at nighttime. I live in southern NH. I started wearing hearing aids in 2004 and since then my hearing has gotten progressively worse. It's pretty severe now.
I should probably sign up for updates from HLAA. Are the conventions worth going to if you are not part of a chapter?
