I have been working with ENT Credit Union to advocate for the installation of Accessible Communication for people with hearing loss - ESPECIALLY in light of MASKS. I learned today that they are working on this now! They also told me that they have clear masks available for their staff if you need them to use one to conduct your business, and to just let them know.

I have told them that many HLAA-CS members bank at ENT. If you do, and have hearing loss, please let me know the branch you use and I will communicate that to the Manager I spoke with at the University Village ENT (she will get back to me with more information). - Vickie
