Description
The
Canadian Hard of Hearing Association – Edmonton Branch (CHHA-Ed) is
affiliated with a national group and is a non-profit support and
information group for individuals with a hearing loss, their family,
friends, and coworkers. CHHA-Ed advocates for the needs of individuals
with hearing loss and is proud to have been instrumental in promoting
the installation of assistive listening systems in select live theatres
and accessible phones in public facilities, and has also raised funds
to assist with installation of Rear Window Caption in the Telus Science
Centre IMAX theatre. Our organization provides information to the
general public on hearing loss and how to communicate with individuals
with hearing loss.
Our mission is to build public awareness and remove barriers for the hard of hearing in the Edmonton region by providing support, advocacy and programs. Our vision is for full inclusion for the hard of hearing. | |
