January Lunch and Learn with Us!

You are invited to be part of a wonderful discussion with other people who have experienced hearing loss on Wednesday, January 17 at Noon. We will meet together online, using Google Meet http://meet.google.com/reh-bevz-cnm, to discuss what tools we’ve discovered for dealing with the situations that arise because of our hearing loss. There are details on the attached flyer (same flyer, 2 different formats), and we promised to give some more examples for you. 

Some examples of such experiences might be: 

  • A good experience: We attended a family event and found that we could better hear and understand what people were saying by doing: __________ 
  • A negative experience: While chatting with friends at a social gathering, I tried doing _________, thinking that it would help me better participate in a conversation. Unfortunately, it made things even worse for me. But what I learned from the experience was: ___________. 
  • A neutral experience: While doing __________ I was having difficulty hearing and understanding what was being communicated, I tried doing _________ thinking that it would help but it did not make a difference. 

Think about some of the things that you have tried and learned from over the last year or so, and share them with the group. We can all learn from each other, and help improve our hearing/communicating experiences. We all benefit from doing so.

Please invite others to join us, too. We’re always hoping to help others on their hearing loss journey.
