Congratulations to Rick Alexander from Blue Hill!
Winner of Our Scholarship for a First Time Attendee to the HLAA National Convention, in Indianapolis, June 11-14, 2025.
He submitted a heartfelt essay about his lifelong struggle with hearing loss and why he would like to attend and what he is looking forward to learn and achieve.
Part of Rick’s essay said:
There is a lot of newer technology that would be of major benefit and go a long ways to restoring as much of my hearing as possible. Being able to see products and get information first hand would maximize my use of the latest products. I am also eager to talk to others with hearing loss and learn at the meetings.
I do not want to just “take.” After the convention, I welcome the opportunity to share my experiences with Maine HLAA members at one of our regular meetings. I will also scoop up literature from the exhibitors present to share on my return.
