"Make Hearing Loss an Issue of National Concern"

​​Our primary purpose is to educate ourselves, hearing health care providers, industry, telecommunications, government and others about hearing loss.

• We sensitize the general population about the special needs of people who have hearing loss
• We promote understanding of the nature, causes, complications, and remedies for hearing loss. 
• We demonstrate assistive-listening devices (ALDs) that enable you to hear better in challenging listening environments  

Do you know about:

• Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs)?  
• T-coils and Hearing ​Loops?
• Captioned Phones?
•  Open Caption Movies?
• CaptiView and Sony Access Glasses for Theaters?
• CART Captioning?​
