Hearing loss is traumatic, not only for the person with the loss but also for family, friends and co-workers. As the familiar sounds of life around us begin to fade, we often feel "uncoupled" from our environment and very much alone. It's common to feel that no one understands.

We Understand. We are in this struggle with you....learning to cope, to grow, to change our thinking about our loss and to appreciate our abilities. But we know this - we are valuable people, with valid feelings and needs that must be met. We have a contribution to make that no one else can, in changing attitudes and promoting opportunities for other hard of hearing people.

Now that we're acquainted, grab a cup of tea and let's get to know one another. If you have a hearing loss or care about someone who has a hearing loss, you have come to the right place. Whether the hearing loss is minor, moderate, severe or profound, this web site and Hearing Loss Association of Oregon are FOR YOU!
