Q. I need hearing aids, can you help me buy some?
A.
Unfortunately no. We are a peer support group and can struggle to afford our own hearing aids, batteries, cochlear implants and accessibility equipment. If you are working age, check with the Florida Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. Otherwise you'll need to depend on your health insurance plan or low cost providers like Costco or Sam's Club.
Q. Can family members attend meetings?
A.
Of course. In fact, we encourage you to bring family members to meetings and social events. They often need support too.

No. While many of our members use signed English, others only use speech reading or written notes. Our motto is "Whatever works!"
