Hearing Loss Association of America | Boston Chapter
Serving Boston, Massachusetts and the surrounding area, our mission is to empower people who have hearing loss by facilitating opportunities for social engagement, education and skill development.
The University of Colorado wants to learn how to improve emergency care access for people with communication disabilities. They’re looking for people who are 18 years or older, live in the US, have a communication disability (hearing loss counts!), received emergency or urgent care in the past 5 years.
If that’s you, they’re asking for 45-60 minutes of your time over Zoom. Compensation will be provided.
Interested? Contact: [email protected]
When: Wednesday, July 17th 12 pm – 2 pm
Where: Boston City Hall Plaza
Come to celebrate and honor the rights of people with disabilities. There will be a speaking program with City officials, a disability resource fair with local organizations and programs, food, music, and free t-shirts (while supplies last — so get there early)

HLAA Boston’s Technology Director, Brad McKenna, has had T-coils in every set of his hearing aids for twenty years. But he’s only started using them. At the HLAA Conference in Phoenix, he got to use them with a hearing loop for the first time.
Read about that experience and other great stuff that he’ll be helping the chapter roll out in the coming months here: https://bradmckenna.wordpress.com/2024/07/08/hlaa-conference-day-1
