We use Zoom for all of our educational and product showcase meetings. Click below and join in with us.
We would like to personally invite you to subscribe to our new coming Newsletters and join our Facebook group. In doing so, you will stay up to date with things happening with Hearing Loss in Florida!
Unlike the situation years ago, nowadays just about everyone with any type or degree of hearing loss can be helped with some kind of hearing assistive technology.
Whether it be hearing aids, cochlear implants or other implantable devices, hearing enhancement technology, apps, assistive listening devices, or captioning...
On behalf of HLAA-FL we would like to personally invite you to join others, like "The Joan Andrews Scholarship Fund", to make a difference in the lives of those who are suffering with hearing loss.
HLAA-Florida State Association would like to thank all of its supporters, such as the Joan Andrews Daughters for their continued contributions. If you are considering adding a scholarship or helping to support HLAA-FL today, simply click the link below.

Connect is organized into over 50 groups related to health conditions. Everything from COVID-19, Depression & Anxiety, About Kids & Teens, Aortic Aneurysms to Transplants and Women’s Health. Most of all, "Connect" offers a place where you can share your story and find support with just a few clicks!
“Peer-to-peer support is a natural extension of person-centered care,” says Ida Managing Director Lise Lotte Bundesen. “We are proud to work with Mayo Clinic and HLAA on this online group that gives people with hearing loss a new avenue to connect with each other as well as hearing care professionals.”
HLAA National is excited to add this Hearing Loss Group on Mayo Clinic Connect and can't wait to share your story and listen to others.
