About Us
We’re people with hearing loss united in empathy and action
HLAA-WA is a volunteer-led nonprofit affiliated with the national organization Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA).
We come together from different backgrounds and from all corners of Washington State with one thing in common: the dream of helping ourselves and others with hearing loss to live our best lives.
At HLAA-WA, we’re navigating the hearing loss journey too, and along the way, we’ve learned how to thrive and to serve others. With a foundation of self-advocacy, knowledge, and empowerment, you can thrive along with us.
At the state level, we empower individuals with the skills and knowledge they need to navigate life with a hearing loss. We create a caring local community that’s hearing friendly and that builds enduring, meaningful connections with others who understand.
