Perhaps you have a loved one with hearing loss, or maybe you think you may have hearing loss but don't know where to start. Maybe you're just looking for a way to help support and be more understanding of people around you with hearing loss. Whatever the reason, there is always something that can be gained from the meetings. How: Afraid you won't be able to hear at the meeting? Don't worry! Our meetings are captioned in real-time.
