We wanted to share what we are working on for the beginning half of 2021. But you can always join DSDHH Coffee Chats that will be every Friday in December 10-11:30.

Though we have no local SLC meetings scheduled for the remainder of the 2020 year, we are still here and need your help! We have attached a short ten question survey. If you could spare a minute and help us shape the 2021 meetings it would be great help. Looking for more information? You can contact us at hearinglossutah@gmail.com

Our first Virtual Walk together.

Join us in showing how many people are affected by hearing loss. Walk for yourself or a loved one, a friend or colleague, or someone you know from church or from where you shop. If this is a time when you can donate something, too, know that the Hearing Loss Association of America, nationally and here in Utah, is working to make our world friendlier for people who work so hard to hear and understand what people are telling them.

With ongoing shelter in place and stay home stay safe orders we wanted to invite any who needs to be connected with others to jump online and join other Hard of Hearing through the many meetings being offered by Utah’s Division of Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. There will be a Coffee Chat Social every Friday morning through the end of May from 10-11. Hard of Hearing Specialist, Chelle Wyatt and her staff have put together four presentations that will be online, as well as, many online classes. Please visit jobs.utah.gov/usor/dhh/events/northern.html for details and registration or contact Chelle Wyatt at chellegeorge@utah.gov
