attending their international convention in Helsinki this summer. (Your

February 2010
You're probably familiar with HLAA, ALDA, NAD, AG
Bell, and possibly some other hearing loss organizations here in the US.
But do you realize that there are organizations with similar goals in many
other countries, as well as an international organization that promotes
the interests of people who are hard of hearing. The International
Federation for Hard of Hearing People has a wonderful quarterly newsletter
that I think you'll find very interesting. For the latest issue, point
