Association of Medical Professionals with Hearing Loss
Wants Your Help to Establish State Chapters
The Association of Medical Professionals with Hearing Loss (AMPHL) is
hoping to establish state-level chapters. Please see the attached brochures
for more information about this grassroots non-profit organization. The
AMPHL Board is asking for help in identifying people in each state who have
hearing loss of any level and are employed (or working toward employment) in
a medical field (which also includes Nursing/Counseling/PT/OT/Veterinary
Sciences/Dentistry/Naturopathy, etc.). If you know of others in these
fields, please put them in contact with AMPHL.
Even if individuals are not interested in holding a statewide
organizational office, membership in this group is invaluable and a great
way to stay on top of current rehabilitation technology (amplified
stethoscopes, clear surgical masks, videophones, captioning support, etc.)
and to get peer support. The 2011 AMPHL national conference, held in
Portland, Oregon, was attended by professionals from as far away as
Australia and was quite a success.
Your help in spreading this information to others who can help with
recruitment (Vocational Rehabilitation, postsecondary educational programs
in these fields, state Boards, professional organizations, HLAA and State
Associations for the Deaf, etc.) would be GREAT LY appreciated! Pass the
word about the chapters-in-development and encourage people to contact AMPHL
directly at outreach@amphl.org<mailto:outreach@amphl.org>.
