Working to Make Lasting Changes

The HLAA California State Association works tirelessly to make California a place where people with hearing loss can thrive.  We continually support bills in the State legislature that benefit our members.  We have groups that advocate for accessible school, work and entertainment environments.  And we educate law-makers, employers and the general public about ways to improve the inclusion of people with hearing loss.

Hearing loss is not just being deaf; it’s also the varying manifestations of being hard-of-hearing. Everyday, Californians with hearing loss need to understand doctors, participate fully at work, talk on the phone, hear emergency notifications.  We also want to enjoy things like going to the movies, attending the theatre, and engaging in the social world of the internet. There is no one solution to the accommodations we need, that’s why we work on so many fronts to fight for our rights.  It is HLAA-CA’s mission – our passion – to advocate for our community.
