Hearing Loss 101:
The Basics of Living With Hearing Loss
Thursday, April 17th, 2025 7:00 pm Zoom
 

Nothing fancy here  – just a little bit of everything.  Please attend and bring a friend who may be unsure about what to do with a possible hearing loss.
 
Back to basics: 

  • What is hearing loss
  • How can you tell if you have a hearing loss
  • What to do
  • Assistive technology and safety
  • Buying a hearing aid 
  • Adjusting with modifications
  • Coping tips
  • Sharing with HLAA DownEast 

This is a Zoom meeting, Thursday, April 17th, 7:00 pm. Please RSVP.  And if you have questions, contact Pat at 973-479-8083 or pat@coachdobbs.com. 

We will be sending the Zoom link to all of you anyway – A day before and the day of.  

 “See” you there at the Zoom!

Let’s Do Lunch!  An In-person Social in Augusta! May 17, 2025 

Saturday May 17, 2025 –  lunch in Augusta  

Where: The Riverfront Barbeque & Grille  300 Water Street, Augusta

When: Saturday, May 17, 2025, 12:00 noon.  Save the date!

It is fun, important and valuable for us to get together whenever we can to share our experiences of life with hearing loss. 

This is a re-do of our luncheon back in the fall of 2023 so it has been awhile!   It was fun and valuable then, and it will be fun and valuable now. 

To help us plan, please RSVP.  And if you have questions, contact Pat at 973-479-8083 or email her –  patdobbscoach@gmail.com.

THE FINE PRINT: Riverfront is an informal, Main St. restaurant, quiet.  It won’t ‘split the bill’ for a group.  Please bring cash so we can pay in one big pile of money. 

To help us all deal with that, HLAA DownEast will subsidize $10.00 toward the meal for each attendee. 
Limited to the first 20 attendees that RSVP.

And please bring your family and friends  – especially those who want to learn more about living with hearing loss.

We can carpool!  Again, please let Pat know.  We are trying to get people’s towns’ names to help with carpooling to this and to future events.   Happy April  and hope to see you in-person in May.
