Spread the word about these exciting new groups!

You have an opportunity to help pioneer and join two great new groups within the HLAA family in Massachusetts!

Hear@Boston

Hear@Boston is a community of young adults with hearing loss in the Boston area.  Most of our members are 20-35 years old, though we welcome people of all ages.  We host monthly events ranging from happy hours to invited speakers.  In addition to these monthly events, we also set up area events that are accessible (open-captioned theater, accessible tours of the MFA or Fenway Park).  Our members are also involved in advocacy, most recently with the push to get medical coverage for hearing aids.  If you or someone you know who would be interested in participating in our next support/social function, please feel free to contact James at HearAtBoston@gmail.com

Working 9-5ers

If you are a person with a hearing loss, between the ages of 35-55 and would like to meet other people on a social basis, perhaps you may be interested in joining our active social group allied with Hear@Boston. We are a social/support group of “working 9-5ers” who would like to meet other folks with hearing loss and participate in activities such as dinners out and about in the city, cinema, theatre, sporting and museum events, pleasure trips to Foxwoods/Mohegan Sun, “happy hour”, bowling, sailing lessons, skiing excursions, concerts, poker or scrabble night, and day trips to historical towns throughout New England.   If you or someone you know who would be interested in participating in our next social function, please feel free to contact Anthony at ajcinmass@yahoo.com

Our next social event open to everyone is the December 20th performance of Mama Mia, an open captioned matinee playing at the Colonial Theatre.  Email ADABoston@BroadwayAcrossAmerica.com or call 617-880-2419 to purchase tickets.  When leaving a voicemail message, be sure to include your desire for seats closest to the open captioning.  For more details, please visit:  http://www.bostonscolonialtheatre.com/Access.html
