December in Zoom:

Let’s Chat! Who are You?

and

Hope Support Group together in Zoom December 12, 2024

December 12, 2024

4—5:00 p.m. Pacific Time

Let’s Chat was a success in November as people shared their personal stories. In November and December, because of an abundance of holiday events, we will combine Let’s Chat with Hearing Other People’s Experiences. Both of these groups are an opportunity for you to help us get to know each other and for us to express challenges and successes of living with hearing loss. First, we listen intently to each other without commenting. After everyone has been heard, we offer tips, advice, and experiences to support each other. Everyone is welcome, people with good hearing as well as people with hearing loss. We find that after listening to each other, we become advocates for ourselves and all those with hearing loss. Thanks to our Vice-President Tawna Cooley, who uses her excellent communication skills, for facilitating this meaningful group.

Due to an abundance of holiday events, there is no Zoom HOPE support group on November 28 or December 26. Instead, attend the December 12 Let’s Chat, Who are You? and Support Group.

Library Presentations

Join us for this educational presentation about living better with hearing loss by using tips, techniques, strategies and assistive listening. This interactive slide presentation has been enjoyed by library patrons and senior living communities in Marin and Sonoma Counties. National HLAA Community Service awardee, Sara Oser, offers information and insights. Susan Feigon, a person with a cochlear implant and hearing aid will also be available at the Healdsburg and Cloverdale meetings to host the resource table and answer questions. Event is organized by the Sonoma County Library.
