Happy New Year! I wish much happiness for everyone in the new year. Our December meeting was held using Zoom and Web Captioner for captions. It worked well. Zoom now has automatic captions, if you have a Zoom license, which we do, thanks to CFI. Amy shared information from the committees she is involved with.
If you are not a member of the National HLAA, please consider joining. They share important information about hearing loss via emails. Here is some information from their webpage.
Upcoming Meetings:
January 9, 2021: Discussion of RISP, watch videos, Q&A
February 13, 2021: Todd Hallberg, Engagement Manager, Cochlear Americas, “Are your hearing aids still enough? A discussion about Implantable hearing.”
March 13,2021: TBA
People of all ages and all types of hearing loss are welcome! All meetings are free to members and non-members, including family and friends.
Meetings are the second Saturday of the month, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM
