Photos below show HLA-Los Angeles at work and play:
Top five photos are from our July 5th trip to the Annenberg Beach House in Santa Monica, CA. The day started out cold and gray, but our mood was 100% sunny.
Bottom two photos were taken at our first major outreach effort, in conjunction with HLA California: the KNBC Health & Wellness Expo, where we helped staff a booth (along with other SoCal chapters).
It was a great experience to reach out to strangers, and we hope our recruiting efforts pay off in new members, and individuals able to confront their own hearing loss issues.
Thanks to Michael Kaplan, Diane Gross, Alicia Fernandez and Katherine Burns for the photos.

HLA-LA Hearing
Loss Association of America is the nation's largest organization
for people with hearing loss. HLA-Los Angeles is one of more
than 200 chapters nationwide and our mission is to open the
world of communication through information, education, advocacy
and support.
We want you to know that you are not alone.
It is estimated that 1 out of 10 of us has some
degree of hearing loss and this loss impacts every aspect of
our lives. Our goal is to educate ourselves, our families, friends,
co-workers, teachers, hearing health care providers, government
agencies and others about hearing loss. While we promote the
concept of self-help, we work to sensitize the general population
about the special needs of those with hearing loss, its nature
and causes.

MONTHLY MEETING
Our regular monthly meeting will be held at The HEAR Center in Pasadena, 301 E Del Mar Avenue.
Envoy Esteem Hearing Implant Presentation. Brittany Kelley, a representative from Envoy Medical, will discuss their new implantable hearing device, already causing a flurry of interest in the HOH community.
As always, snacks and real-time captioning will be provided, and admission is always free.
Immediately folllowing the meeting (say abuot 1:30 or so), we're all going bowling together at Pickwick Bowl in Burbank. The Pickwick is located at 1001 Riverside Drive, right across from the Burbank Equestrian Center and is the unofficial bowling headquarters of our little chapter. You won't believe how much fun we can have, especially considering how lousy some of us are!
