We have a special second meeting planned, starting at 12:30 pm following our regular chapter meeting on Saturday, July 23.
We’re thrilled to have the Coordinator for Disability Services at L.A. International Airport, Larry Rolon, join us to discuss accessibility at Los Angeles International Airport. Larry would like our input on ways to make LAX more accessible to people with hearing loss. This is a great opportunity to make our voices heard!
Here’s a great article shared by Diane Gross about air travel and accessibility to travelers with hearing loss. We still are far from equal access to services, but changes are slowly happening. We can help instigate change quicker by advocating for ourselves. Click here to read the full article, published by Healthy Hearing.
A great article found from Ken Cluskey regarding efforts underway in the UK to take “noise off the menu” from the charity’s Speak Easy campaign. Based on responses from individuals with AND without hearing, there is indeed great benefit to take steps toward providing a more meaningful and enjoyable experience when dining with others.

It was an amazing 2016 HLAA National Convention! The LA Chapter was well represented with nine members attending, including the whole steering committee! Getting there and back home, well that was another story but everyone that attended can attest that it was well worth the experience.
