Walk4Hearing – Coming in June!

Events, Fundraising, News
Walk 4 Hearing

The HLAA Walk4Hearing began in 2006 with just 6 walks and a dream of raising awareness for the hearing loss community. Ten years later, 22 walks around the country have made HLAA’s Walk4Hearing one of the largest fundraising events for people with hearing loss. Besides funds, the walks bring much-needed visibility to an often invisible condition. Please join other Southern Californians as we walk for the common goal of raising funds and awareness to the hearing loss community. » Read more

Hope to see many of you at this Saturday’s meeting! We’ll hear from a panel of “mixed couples” (one partner with hearing loss and one partner with normal hearing), who will discuss how hearing loss can affect their relationships. We welcome you to invite your friends, family members and significant others. It should be an informative, engaging and entertaining discussion, moderated by our own Dana Sunderland!

Apple Wants to Get Rid of the T-Coil – A Call to Action

News

Call to Action T-CoilsHello Everyone,

Please take a look and sign this petition. Juliette Sterkens from HLAA posted it on Facebook.

Stop the FCC from Removing the Telecoil Compatibility Requirement from HAC Phones

APPLE has petitioned the FCC to remove t coil compatibility from their phones. The theory is to replace it with updated technology to create more accessibility. That is all great, but the industry has yet to agree on an open wireless standard that is accessible to everyone like the t coil. Until they do, the t coil should stay.

We have another opportunity to have our voices heard and make a difference.

Please take a look at the petition.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks,

Ken
