Dear Friends:<br />

If you or someone you know is finding it more <strong>and</strong> more difficult to hear, please<br />

remember that professional, unbiased help is available at the <strong>Center</strong> <strong>for</strong> the<br />

Deaf <strong>and</strong> Hard of <strong>Hearing</strong>.<br />

From the latest in hearing aids to fully tested equipment such as amplified<br />

phones <strong>and</strong> visual signaling devices, from speech reading <strong>and</strong> communication<br />

strategy small group sessions to sign language classes, the <strong>Center</strong> is here to help<br />

improve the quality of life <strong>for</strong> all those facing hearing challenges.<br />

For families with a baby newly diagnosed with hearing loss, the <strong>Center</strong> is a place<br />

to turn <strong>for</strong> com<strong>for</strong>t, in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>and</strong> counseling. Services are begun right away<br />

since the first three years of life are the critical time <strong>for</strong> language development.<br />

Parents are encouraged to choose the type of communication they believe will be<br />

best <strong>for</strong> their child <strong>and</strong> family <strong>and</strong> then receive services that support their choice.<br />

The <strong>Center</strong> could not continue to meet the growing needs of those with hearing<br />

loss without the generous support of our contributors <strong>and</strong> volunteers. During<br />

these challenging times, your help is more essential than ever. On behalf of all<br />

those we serve, our heartfelt thanks.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Wisconsin’s <strong>Hearing</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Speech</strong> <strong>Resource</strong><br />
