Who We Are
The Hearing Loss Association of America-East Bay Chapter (HLAA-EB ) is part of the nation’s leading organization representing people of all ages with hearing loss. We strive 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. Our primary purpose is to educate ourselves, our families, friends, coworkers, teachers, hearing health care providers, industry, government, and others about hearing loss.
