Who We Are
The Hearing Loss Association of America-Oregon is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization made up principally of persons affected by hearing loss. It is also a state association under the national Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA), the largest international organization of its kind with a nationwide support network of chapters and groups who are ready to help understand and cope with your hearing loss. As part of this national movement, HLAA-Oregon reaches out to hard-of-hearing and other interested individuals in Oregon.
Our PurposeHearing loss can be traumatic, not only for the person with the loss but also for family, friends and co-workers. As the familiar sounds of life around us begin to fade, we often feel "uncoupled" from our environment and very much alone. It's common to feel that no one understands.
