January  2026 ~ In person  ~ Open Discussion: How hearing loss impacts our lives. at the South Portland Community Center.  
Eight of us had a fun and lively discussion about our hearing loss journeys.  We laughed, learned, and shared our stories, our victories, and our challenges. 
It was a delight to have Laura Leech with us; our new Audiologist-Advisor and you will hear more about her in the months to come.

Malvina Gregory and Sara Jodi of Maine Health did an outstanding job presenting the important tools and techniques that they employ to make their services accessible to people with hearing loss.  We had a good turnout and people learned much.  We need to empower ourselves to ask for interpretative services and Maine Health delivers.
