Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

@julieo4 Hi Julie. I would love to see one in this area but I am really not an initiator or organizer, and at this point in my life, I don't think that's going to change. I may have been more able to do that when I was younger, probably best when I was in my 50s actually and had gained confidence with life experience, but not now, in my 70s.
I would be a great co-organizer though if someone else got it started.

Sometimes just starting a conversation with someone else who has hearing loss/hearing aids, can lead to 'getting together to talk about it'. Who knows, that could evolve into a chapter. HLAA has chapter coordinators in some states, but not all. If there is a state association in your state, that may be your starting point. Who knows....there could be other people asking the same question. I'm your age, and I'm still actively involved. 🙂 So many people need to talk. A YMCA or worship center may be a great place to start.
