The World Health Organization tells us that hearing loss will be an even larger worldwide problem in the immediate future.

HLAA COC is working to secure access for all with hearing loss by encouraging the installation of hearing loops in public gathering places. Monthly meetings are a place where all are welcome and it is OK if you don’t hear well because the meeting is looped & captioned so you can see as well as hear what is being said. Meetings are held on the third Thursday, 11:30 – 1PM including a lite lunch, at the Will Rogers Garden Exhibition Hall, 3400 NW 36. There is no admission charge. If you have a hearing loss or know and love someone who does, you are welcome.
