About HLA-NC and Local Chapters
|
HLA-NC is a state association of Hearing Loss Association of America, and it's focus is on state-wide advocacy and cooperation. All HLA-NC meetings are open to anyone interested in hearing loss. If you'd like to attend and get involved in promoting the interests of people with hearing loss, please email Steve Barber at steve.barber@earthlink.net.
You're also invited to attend local chapter meetings where you will meet others sharing information about hearing loss and working on a local level to support our interests. See Local Chapters for more information.
  The next meeting of Hearing Loss Association of North Carolina is tentatively planned for May, 2012 in Winston-Salem. The meeting will focus on planning for our upcoming NCWalk4Hearing in September. Look for details here.
 THANKS FOR STEPPING UP! The first North Carolina Walk4Hearing, held in Durham in October 2009, was a rousing success, raising $34,396.00 for hearing loss-related causes! See archive
Building on that success, HLA-NC will hold its next Walk4Hearing on October 13th, 2012. For more information, including how to become a sponsor, or how your non-profit can share in the donations to benefit people with hearing loss, see the

New Hearing Loss Glossary: Check out HLA-NC's new Hearing Loss Glossary.
It's not completely finished, yet, but if you want, you can help by submitting terms or definitions. If the glossary doesn't pop-up on the left of your screen, then you may have to disable your pop-up blocker (try selecting the link while holding down the Cntl key). If that doesn't work try this alternate link to glossary.
3D Model of Inner Ear: To see and interact with this 3D Model of the Inner Ear
 , you'll need Shockwave and a reasonably fast computer. It may take a couple of minutes to load on a dialup, too, but it could be worth the wait.
These web pages provide news, information and paid advertisements for things related to hearing loss. None of these should be considered as product, program or service endorsements by Hearing Loss Association of America, Hearing Loss Association of North Carolina or the local chapters in North Carolina.
