We haven’t had a regular “Hearing News Update” in a while and we just wanted to post about some various points of interest related to hearing loss.

HLAA National News:

HLAA Webinar and Virtual Meetings Recordings (HLAA website)

Hearing Life eNews Sign-up (the twice per month HLAA e-news)

U.S. House of Representatives Expands Medicare to Cover Hearing Aids (HLAA blog post)

HLAA-TC News:

Our November speaker Sara Oberg shared some resources:

betterhearing.org (A website run by Hearing Industries Association with plenty of resources on hearing).

“Learning to hear again with a cochlear implant, communication strategies” by Donna S. Wayner, PhD and Judy E. Abrahamson. MA (article found on www.audiologyonline.com)

Give To The Max Day was on November 18th and HLAA-TC participated for the third year. We raised money towards our goal of being able to continue to provide resources for those living with hearing loss in Minnesota. Our GiveMN page is still live and accepting donations.
