This hour-long session includes an overview presentation on all programs the Hearing Loss Association of America, Rochester chapter offers. We also discuss the extent of hearing loss in our society, how we hear, and the need for individuals to address their hearing loss. Then, a quick introduction to our Demo Center of assistive listening devices, both in person and on our website. And, finally, the recent introduction of over-the-counter hearing aids. Plenty of time is provided for questions. An express hearing check kiosk is also available for individuals to gain perspective on how well they are hearing.
