Participant Comments from our Fall 2015 Groups:
"I'd like to see these classes done community-wide. If my husband and I attended one years ago, when we first got hearing aids, it would have made a world of difference, both individually and as a couple."
"Very beneficial, I would recommend this to anyone with a hearing loss"
"Much more knowledgeable about loss and aids than before attending"
"Tip and tools provided gave me hope to cope daily. The teachers and students did an excellent job communicating on a level that encouraged class experience and participation- THANK YOU! :)"
"Just learning to "walk before you talk" has really helped. Also "look before you listen." Also learning I am not alone in the lack of hearing situation helps"
"This was an excellent class! It has given me renewed hope for our future of living with hearing loss. Not only did we learn techniques on how to cope, we also found comfort in knowing that we're not alone. The last class on assistive devices gave us many ideas for options to add to our hearing aids as our loss progresses."
"Great class, great instructions, very knowledgeable of problems we are experiencing. I would attend the class again"
"Well done presentations and coordinations. Very valuable. Thank you."
