March 28 – 30, 2025 – The New England Regional HLAA Conference
Over 100 people across New England came together to learn, share, network and have fun at the New England Regional HLAA Conference.
HLAA DownEast had a super good turnout with about a dozen of us. That is excellent considering that we had to drive to Marlborough, MA and hotel it for at least one night, but really two nights.
It is a good thing that the weather was bad because we all stayed inside to hear all the wonderful speakers, and share stories amongst ourselves.
Our Andy Chandler and our Pat Dobbs were presenters! They both did excellently of course. Andy spoke of cyber security, Pat spoke of hearing loss and relationships. Some other topics were ‘How to Buy a Hearing Aid,’ ‘Hearing Aids and AI,’ ‘home safety,’ ‘aural rehabilitation.’ It was a pleasure to have HLAA Executive Director Barbara Kelly and HLAA Chapter Engagement Manager Melissa Kruse speak about what is happening nationally.
There were captions and interpreters but presentations were not recorded. If Powerpoint presentations become available for posting, or if other links about the event emerge, I will post them here.
