CDHH Offering FREE Speechreading Classes
02/23/10 - 06/08/10 | 4:25 pm - 4:30 pm
Center for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing is Offering
Free Classes to Help You Hear and Communicate Better
Thanks to a grant from the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation, the Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is offering free speechreading and communication strategies classes to help older adults learn to live better with hearing loss.
Each class series consists of eight 1-hour classes, held weekly. Classes will cover basic speechreading (lipreading) techniques, strategies for preventing communication breakdowns, effective use of assistive technology, self-advocacy skills, how hearing loss affects relationships and more. Adults ages 60+ with any degree of hearing loss are invited to participate.
As a participant, not only will you learn how to cope more successfully with hearing loss and discover new ways to stay active and independent, you will also benefit from the peer support provided during these small-group classes. It’s a fun and effective way to overcome the many challenges of hearing loss, so you can continue to live the life you choose. Classes are taught by Pam Bergum, Speech-Language Pathologist, who has more than 20 years of experience working with adults who have hearing loss.

Milwaukee Walk4 Hearing
05/16/10 | 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
 The Milwaukee Walk4Hearing is part of a nationwide effort to make hearing loss an issue of national concern and to demonstrate to the community how many people — of all ages – are actually impacted by hearing loss. In Wisconsin alone, more than 500,000 people are directly affected, and in the US, more than 31 million people, or one in 10, have trouble hearing.
When you walk on the CDHH Walk4Hearing team, you be adding your voice to the cause and helping to spread the word about how many people are affected by hearing loss and face communication barriers and access to information and services on a daily basis. You will also be directly supporting the Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and helping us raise money to support the Center’s state-of-the-art programs and services for children and adults throughout Wisconsin who are challenged by hearing loss.
You can also visit www.walk4hearing.org and set up your own team website and designate CDHH as the organization you want to help support. Then, you can have the fun of setting up your own fundraising goals, and still help raise money directly for CDHH. |
