Public Presentations & Displays
DHHS offers hearing loss awareness presentations to community groups, retirement residences, health & wellness fairs and businesses. A hard of hearing presenter will offer personal insights into how a person learns to cope with this “invisible” disability. As a result, participants gain a better understanding of the needs of the hard of hearing. The session usually includes demonstrating listening devices and hand-outs may also be provided.
Length is 1 hour but can be adjusted to suit the organization.
Cost: Honorarium based on the type and size of organization presenting to.
