Lossâ€

, Director, Illinois Deaf & Hard of Hearing

Commission (IDHHC)

Do you struggle to hear public announcements in train

stations or at the airport?  How about hearing dialogue at theaters? 

Do you wish there was an impartial resource available to you to voice your

communication access concerns?  Attend this meeting to learn how the

IDHHC advocates on behalf of people with hearing loss. 

 

 2. Member Lead

Discussion

 

 

Members share personal experiences about their cochlear

implants, offer practical advice and answer questions.

  

Refreshments are served and there is always time to

socialize.  This is a good time for members, guests and cochlear implant

candidates to chat, and to exchange information about personal experiences

with cochlear implants.
