CDHH T H E R E S O U R C E for Community Education and Referral Since hearing loss now affects more than one in ten people across all age groups and is on the rise among young adults, hearing loss is an emerging health issue that will continue to grow as the Baby Boomer population ages. In Wisconsin, CDHH has an active outreach program to help educate the community about how to prevent hearing loss whenever possible, and how to successfully cope with hearing loss if it does occur. CDHH also works to reduce stereotypes associated with hearing loss and improve awareness of hearing loss issues and Deaf Culture through community presentations and classes. In Wisconsin, CDHH is the place that professionals, organizations and individuals alike rely on for information and resources related to hearing conservation, Deaf Culture or how to live better with hearing loss. By increasing awareness and reducing the stigma associated with hearing loss and deafness, CDHH promotes a more inclusive society in which all members of the community can actively participate.
