Get Involved
Joining the HLAA Boulder Chapter offers local support, education and connection for people living with hearing loss. Members can attend meetings, workshops and community events to learn about hearing health, assistive technology and communication strategies, while building relationships and reducing isolation in a supportive environment.
HLAA chapters also connect members to a broader network through national programs and virtual events, providing access to expert speakers and advocacy resources. By joining, individuals gain valuable tools for self-advocacy, accessibility and lifelong hearing health, both locally and nationwide.
A Message from our President
Welcome to the new HLAA Boulder Chapter Website! We invite you to explore information about hearing loss, our chapter meetings, advocacy and activities.
Our chapter has been a part of the national organization Hearing Loss Association of America since June 1984, and we continue to learn and grow with you. I joined the Boulder chapter in 1994, having had hearing loss my whole life. Before I joined the organization, I knew a little about hearing loss. Since I joined, a whole world has opened up for me, learning about hearing aids and my audiogram. Using assistive listening systems and captioning, including the hearing loop, has made it easier to attend shows, movies, classes, and presentations so much better. I’m included when I have accessibility. Our chapter meetings are accessible with captioning and a hearing loop.
You are not alone with your hearing loss. We enjoy learning from each other, and how to deal with our hearing loss, whether it be technology such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, or strategies like lip reading, seating and lighting placement, asking people to face you when talking, and the list goes on.
I invite you to join us for an upcoming meeting and look for opportunities to learn how to communicate more effectively. Bring your family members and friends who want to learn more about how to communicate with you.
We look forward to seeing you! Join our email list and reach out to us at hlaaboulder@gmail.com with your questions.
