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.
