Hearing Loss Association of America
and affiliate organizations such as Hearing Loss Association of Oklahoma City open the
world of communication to people who have a hearing loss, by providing information,
education, support and advocacy.
Our Mission
We are here to provide a source of friendship, information, education, and
various opportunities for networking, to those with any form of hearing limitation(s). We
include all age groups, and we welcome the families, friends and associates of those
with hearing related problems. Some of our most active people are thirtyish; and some of
our most experienced hands are "mature". We share the common ground of adapting
our skills to living and coping in a hearing world. We, individually and collectively,
share ideas about technology and coping strategies. Please explore our Links for
information on what we find most useful at the moment! We are advocates for people with a
hearing loss, in all sorts of public accommodations. We believe that we can live
essentially normal lives in the mainstream by being aware of what is possible and by
having the drive to use all the possibilities!
