CI Support Group Meeting at TU Chapman Center AND on Microsoft Teams, Thursday 3/26/2026 at 6:45 pm CT

Next week, we’re excited to welcome a panel of audiologists from Hearts for Hearing for a Q&A session. This is a great opportunity to bring your questions and learn from their expertise—we hope you’ll join us in person or virtually! We hosted a similar Q&A panel with audiologists from Eastern OK ENT in 2024, and it was highly successful.
