About Us
We’re people with hearing loss united in empathy and action

We come together from differerent 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 skills and knowledge, and we create a caring local community to connect people with hearing loss, their family and friends, and hearing health professionals.
HLAA-WA is a separate, volunteer-led nonprofit affiliated with the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) in Rockville, Maryland.
