This is our annual interactive program, where chapter members share stories and advice without an outside moderator or speaker. The topic this year is how hearing loss affects us emotionally and psychologically. Attendees will talk about specific challenges they’ve faced --  with technology, getting accommodations, with family, friends, the workplace, or in the public sector -- and how they managed them. Others are invited to contribute their own experiences in similar situations. 

Chapter President Katherine Bouton, who is the author of “Shouting Won’t Help” and “Smart Hearing,” will facilitate. Comments can be made orally (three minutes per speaker), entered into the chat box, or submitted prior to the meeting.
