Hearing Loss Association of Los Angeles HLA-LA, was founded in September

2004 by a group of adults with hearing loss. The purpose of this group is to

bring support and understanding to all people who live with a hearing loss

(whether it is mild to severe) and their family and friends. HLA-LA members

communicate by lip reading, writing signs, sign language or the use of a

real time captionist. Membership is free.
