Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

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?

Check out the HLAA webinars at national's website. Great information.
Hi @contentandwell , I agree with Ed that going to a Convention is well worth it. When I went to my first one, it convinced me that getting more involved with HLAA was what I wanted to do. It is especially good to go to if you are not in a chapter. You do need to be a member of HLAA, but that is only $35 I believe. And they also have financial aid for those who might not be able to afford it. I think there might be scholarships for first timers as well. So contact them. The convention won't be this close to home for several years as they move it around the country each year.

HLAA is a great organization. HLAA KY has a lot of material on its website--40+ videos on hearing loss issues. They can supplement a meeting if you can't attend one. I can't put the full address on this site at this time. Simply search Hearinglosskentucky we are an org.
