Friends make life richer—and everyone deserves to be included.

Ahead of 'World Hearing Day' tomorrow, here’s how you can support a friend with hearing loss:

- Take turns when talking so your friend can follow the conversation
- Face your friend when speaking
- Help, or call for help, if their hearing aid isn’t working
- Include your friend in play and group activities
- Never make fun of people with hearing loss or hearing aids

Today is World Hearing Day.

Did you know? More than 95 million children and teenagers live with hearing loss. Many don’t get health services to remedy this.

Spot the possible signs of hearing loss in children:

⁉️ Frequently asking you to repeat
📖 Struggling with attention or keeping up at school
👂 Complaining of ear pain or ear discharge
🗣️ Showing delayed speech and language development

Early checkups and simple treatments can make a big difference. Don’t wait! Take your child for a hearing test.

Join us (from anywhere in the province!) for our Online Workshop: Learn How to Use Speech-to-Text on Your Devices.

Speech-to-text lets you talk instead of typing. This can save time and make using technology easier. The session is beginner-friendly and uses plain language.

This workshop is for anyone who finds typing difficult, slow, or tiring. It is also helpful for people with disabilities, seniors, students, staff, and anyone interested in learning simple assistive technology tools. No technical experience is needed.

You will learn what speech-to-text is, how it works, and how to turn it on and use it on Windows and Mac computers, iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. The session will also cover tips to improve accuracy, editing spoken text, and fixing common problems.

Date: Thursday, February 26
Time: 1:00 pm - 2:30 PM
Location: Online (Zoom)

🌍 International Day for Persons with Disabilities 🌍
December 3

Today we recognize the importance of accessibility, inclusion, and awareness — especially for disabilities you can’t always see.

🦻 Hearing loss is an invisible disability.

It affects communication, safety, confidence, and daily life — often in ways others don’t realize. Creating accessible spaces isn’t optional. It’s essential.

At CHHA-NL, we work every day to break down barriers through:

🔹 Hearing accessibility resources
🔹 Education and public awareness
🔹 Youth programs
🔹 Assistive technology guidance
🔹 Community supports

Together, we can build a province where people with hearing loss feel understood, included, and empowered.

💙 Let’s make accessibility a priority — today and every day.

Our office will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11, 2025, in observance of Remembrance Day.
