Center for Communication, Hearing & Deafness is Offering
Free Classes to Help You Hear and Communicate Better
Thanks to a grant from the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation, the Center for Communication, Hearing & Deafness is offering free speechreading and communication strategies classes to help older adults learn to live better with hearing loss.
Each class series consists of eight 1-hour classes, held weekly. Classes will cover basic speechreading (lipreading) techniques, strategies for preventing communication breakdowns, effective use of assistive technology, self-advocacy skills, how hearing loss affects relationships and more. Adults ages 60+ with any degree of hearing loss are invited to participate.
As a participant, not only will you learn how to cope more successfully with hearing loss and discover new ways to stay active and independent, you will also benefit from the peer support provided during these small-group classes. It’s a fun and effective way to overcome the many challenges of hearing loss, so you can continue to live the life you choose. Classes are taught by Pam Bergum, Speech-Language Pathologist, who has more than 20 years of experience working with adults who have hearing loss.
