    About the Manhattan Chapter

  • We meet the third Tuesday of each month: September through June from 5:30p to 7:30p .  Socializing is 5:30p through 6:00p with the main meeting starting at 7:30p.

 

  • We participate in group discussions – sharing  ideas, thoughts, concerns – with those who know  firsthand the challenges of having a hearing loss.

 

  • We learn, from guest speakers as well as other members, how to communicate optimally with our hearing loss at work, home, school, and in social settings.

 

  • We hear about cutting-edge research. We see demonstrations of the   
    latest technology available to those with hearing loss, such as 
    hearing aids, cochlear implants, alerting devices, assistive listening systems.

 

  • We are active advocates for people with hearing  loss: writing to legislators about pending bills affecting us; calling and writing to TV networks to increase and improve closed captioning of  programs; asking for and using assistive listening devices in hotels, houses of worship, theaters, and conferences.
