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 />
