Founded in 1979 by Howard E. “Rocky” Stone, the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) is the nation’s leading organization representing consumers with hearing loss. The programs and events we offer are designed to focus on you—the person. HLAA strives to give people the tools they need to live more successfully with hearing loss and to show them they do not have to face hearing loss alone.

The mission of HLAA is to open the world of communication to people with hearing loss by providing information, education, support and advocacy.
 
Our primary purpose is to educate ourselves, our families, friends, coworkers, teachers, hearing health care providers, industry, government, and others about hearing loss. HLAA provides adults and children with tools for self help; sensitizes the general population about the special needs of people who have hearing loss; and promotes understanding of the nature, causes, complications, and remedies of hearing loss.

HLAA provides timely and reliable information about hearing loss through its website (www.hearingloss.org), its bimonthly magazine, Hearing Life, the Hearing Life e-News, message boards, and chat forums. HLAA holds annual conventions for people with hearing loss and professionals; the HLAA2019 Convention is in Rochester, NY, June 20 - 23. The Walk4Hearing will take place in 18 cities in 2018 (walk4hearing.org). Find an HLAA Chapter near you at https://www.hearingloss.org/chapters-state-orgs/find-a-chapter/.
