Hearing Loss Magazine is published bimonthly and is delivered
as part of membership in Hearing Loss Association of America.
Readers look to Hearing
Loss Magazine to provide them with the latest information on products,
services, research, and technology in the hearing health
care field. They also look for personal stories of hard
of hearing people to find encouragement, and give them
the feeling that they're not alone in living with a hearing
loss. They look for practical and useful information. Hearing
Loss readers view the magazine as a "lifeline" to
help them help themselves and live well with hearing loss.
In addition, professional members of the hearing health
care community are another valuable sector of our readership,
and do not hesitate to comment on, add their expertise to,
and use Hearing Loss Magazine as a valuable resource for
information and patient referral.
