About Us

The Montgomery County Chapter was established as a charter chapter of HLAA in 1981. The purpose of our chapter is to provide:

• SUPPORT - dedication to helping people who are hard of hearing learn to cope with hearing loss and to improve the quality of relationships between hard of hearing and hearing people.
• EDUCATION - learn about hearing loss, its detection and management, and prevention of further hearing loss. Members also learn about assistive listening devices and systems and how they can improve communication.
• ACCESS - promote a climate in which people who are hard of hearing can gain access to assistive listening devices in theaters, public buildings, airports, medical facilities and wherever people meet.

We also have an email list to keep you informed of local events in Montgomery County, the state or in nearby areas. To join the free newsletter go to the HLAA - MC Email List and sign up.
