Greetings!
The Canadian Hard of Hearing Association’s mission is to connect Canadians impacted by hearing loss through advocacy, education and community engagement. In May, our mission was indeed at the forefront of every action we took.
In consultations with our partners and members, we learned how the impact of Covid-19 affected adults with hearing loss. The information received from the national survey allowed us to know more and create a series of educational webinars available soon on CHHA website and social media channels. We held our first-ever virtual conference, 170 individuals learned more about how technology, music, and advocating for yourself can improve accessible communication and mental and physical well-being for you and your loved ones.
CHHA has been active across the nation as our network continues to offer services remotely and gear up for more in-person projects. From distributing clear masks to helping individuals navigate the complex world of hearing health, CHHA volunteers serve our community with as much passion and professionalism as they ever have.
May also saw our membership welcome three new board members at the Annual General Meeting, filling our complement of eight dedicated people who will be leading our association to great things.
It was a wonderful spring to be a part of CHHA, and I am looking forward to an even better summer. Take care and stay safe!
