No February 2025 Meeting
We had a wonderful January, Part 1, meeting with the Audiology and Speech Language professors and their students. We learned from them. They learned from us. Wonderful camaraderie and good will amongst everyone.
Our March 10th meeting will be Part 2. It will include follow up from the January meeting as well as some technical support for your assistive devices like your manufacturer’s phone app (we can all use help with that!).
The following is some information from January you might find interesting/helpful.
www.Hearingloss.org for information about the National Convention, June 12-14 in Indianapolis. Explore the website for Hearing Loss information in general .
NU Aural Rehabilitative Group and Communication Enhancement. Series of 6 classes on hearing, hearing loss, assistive devices, and strategies to advocate for yourself. Excellent!!

Hope to see you in March.
