Talking about hearing loss with family and friends isn't always easy, but it’s an important step in keeping our connections strong.

Join us for this month’s Hard-of-Hearing Peer Support Group at OSCIL, hosted by the ATEL Program! In this supportive space, we'll discuss how to effectively explain what helps you hear, how to ask others to face you or reduce background noise, and how to talk about your experiences without feeling uncomfortable.

Come share your ideas, learn from others, and leave with helpful everyday strategies.
