Keeping Up with the Latest Developments with Hearing Loss

May 25, 2016 Better Hearing, News articles

We all know the world of hearing loss continues to be ever changing with new developments and news every day. Now it’s not reasonable to think we can post an article on the site every time something new comes to the forefront, that’s why we have news feeds for your viewing pleasure on the right side of each page (or at the bottom if viewing on a smartphone).

Science Daily, a well known source of news within the world of science, including hearing loss news, has been added to the site. You’ll see the news feed block it below our news feeds from HLAA National.

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.
