During summer session, our Speech Rehabilitation Clinic provided language training and auditory tutoring, tuition-free, to many hearing impaired children. Graduates of this program are now successful productive human beings. In addition this program provides ongoing support and counseling groups for teenagers, young adults, and people with balance disorders. Special services include individual and family counseling, advanced lipreading, assistive device display, hearing aid bank and counseling for retirement home residents. More than 5000 people are graduates of our programs and more than a million people have been educated about hearing loss and its ramifications through during the past 25 years.
Community education continues to be a large part of our program.
Support groups include the Women's Guild of Hope for Hearing, an organization of women who have contributed over a million dollars to Hope for Hearing during the past 40 years , and a Hearing Loss Alumni Group which formed more recently and is still growing. We were founded to provide the stimulation and support for research in the mechanism of hearing, in the causes and treatment of ear diseases, and in the education and rehabilitation of the deaf. We have done that and more .
