Education, Advocacy & Outreach

The League for the Hard of Hearing offers indirect and direct support for people who are hard of hearing, deaf, and deaf-blind in their struggles to gain communication and other access in places of public accommodation, the workplace, and government facilities. We offer programs designed to educate both consumers and the general public, providing information needed to make access a reality.

Working with coalitions of organizations representing people who are deaf and hard of hearing on the local, state, and national level, as well as working independently, the League provides vital input on issues related to people with hearing loss to Federal, State and Local government offices, by responding to requests for written comments, by providing public testimony, conducting workshops and initiating as well as supporting proposed legislation.

Consumers, organizations and businesses are encouraged to contact us for information, referral, training, and for direct assistance.
