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.
The HLAA Walk4Hearing began in 2006 with just 6 walks and a dream of raising awareness for the hearing loss community. Ten years later, 22 walks around the country have made HLAA’s Walk4Hearing one of the largest fundraising events for people with hearing loss. Besides funds, the walks bring much-needed visibility to an often invisible condition. Please join other Southern Californians as we walk for the common goal of raising funds and awareness to the hearing loss community.
