HLAA-LA_April2015

Hope to see you all at the March 28th meeting! We have a great guest speaker, Jeff Grama, who many of you already know (and love!). Jeff has over 35 years of audiology and hearing aid dispensing experience and will be presenting about the latest in hearing aid and assistive listening technology. He will also touch on brain conditioning and memory techniques for people with hearing loss. You don’t want to miss what’s sure to be a truly informative discussion!

As always, we’ll have coffee and refreshments (feel free to bring food to share), and the meeting will be captioned and looped.

Also to note. Things are looking up. The FCC Has a brand new committee, called The Disability Advisory Committee, with two of our people on it. Richard Ray from Los Angeles and Lise Hamlin from National HLAA. Richard Ray will be speaking soon to our chapter so a wish list for him would be nice!
