I have not gotten any help from anyone but I will ask. I Iive in a very royal area. That is why I
Relay on the Internet. I also do not drive. Which makes it worse. I Have been to the associations web site but just found it and need to study it. Do they have any online help?

I hope you take time to study the HLAA website. There are several chapters in PA, but since I don't know the town where you live I cannot recommend one because the site requires putting in a city or geographical location. Go to the link for chapters and explore it. You can also contact HLAA for information. Right now, they are operating with a small crew due to the virus. I'm sure it will take a bit longer than usual to hear from them. Again, I cannot put an e-mail address on this post, so I cannot give you that info. It is on the website. http://www.hearingloss.org Some of the chapters are using ZOOM to communicate now. Veterans across the entire United States are participating in a virtual chapter via ZOOM. I see this happening more and more as time passes and the technology improves. It can actually include captioning now. We had a state meeting in Wisconsin last Saturday with 17 people that was captioned. With a device I plug into my laptop, I can hear clearly enough to not need the captioning. That device is a simple $50 neckloop used with the telecoils in my hearing aid and cochlear processor. Again, technology is amazing. We do not have to be alone with our hearing loss. We just have to be willing to explore options and be open to learning about them.
