First, we listen intently to each other without commenting. After everyone has been heard, we offer tips, advice, and experiences to support each other. Everyone is welcome, people with good hearing as well as people with hearing loss. We find that after listening to each other, we become advocates for ourselves and all those with hearing loss.

Last year our backyard picnic was so successfull that we decided to do the same this year. HLAA NB Chapter will be providing the sandwiches and salads, so you don’t need to bring anything. Meet up with old and new friends, find out the latest convention news, and pick up brochures and buttons to share with friends.
Please RSVP here so that we order enough food. We’ll give you the address too!

Library Presentation
Join us for this educational presentation about living better with hearing loss by using tips, techniques, strategies and assistive listening. This interactive slide presentation has been enjoyed by library patrons and senior living communities in Marin and Sonoma Counties. National HLAA Community Service awardee, Sara Oser, offers information and insights. Susan Feigon, a person with a cochlear implant and hearing aid will also be available at the Cloverdale meeting to host the resource table and answer questions. Event is organized by the Sonoma County Library.
Sara Oser presents at libraries in Sonoma and Marin Counties.

Hearing loss is an invisible disability. Take the time to reach out to someone with hearing loss. Let them know about HLAA-NB.
