SUMMARY:The Genetic Connection
DESCRIPTION:Navigating a Genetic Hearing Loss Diagnosis: What Comes Next?\nREGISTER NOW \nA genetic hearing loss diagnosis can bring an added layer of questions\, emotions and decisions for families. You may be wondering what the diagnosis means for your child\, what the future may hold\, where to find reliable information or how to connect with other parents who truly understand what you’re experiencing. \nHLAA’s new peer support group provides a welcoming virtual space for parents of children with genetic hearing loss to connect\, share experiences\, ask questions and learn from one another. Our first meeting\, led by Michelle Hu\, Au.D. will focus on what families should know after their child has been identified with genetic hearing loss—including what the diagnosis means\, what steps to consider next and how genetic hearing loss may differ from other types of hearing loss. \nWhether you’re just beginning to navigate a genetic hearing loss diagnosis or further along in your journey\, you’ll have an opportunity to learn from an expert\, connect with other parents and find support in a community that understands. \nThe remaining 2026 meetings will be held at the same time on the following dates: October 22\, November 19 and December 17. \nMichelle Hu\, Au.D.\nMichelle Hu\, Au.D.\, CCC-A\, is a pediatric audiologist\, speaker\, author and founder of Mama Hu Hears. She also happens to be a bilateral cochlear implant user\, which means she’s spent her life sitting in both the patient chair and the provider chair. \nFor more than 16 years\, Michelle has helped children and families navigate hearing loss through diagnostics\, hearing technology\, cochlear implants and family-centered care. Today\, she shares that expertise with audiences around the world\, helping professionals move beyond the audiogram to better understand the families they serve. \nWhen she’s not speaking or in clinic\, you’ll find her creating educational content for the Mama Hu Hears community\, writing resources for hearing parents of children with hearing loss\, chasing after her four kids or testing new recipes in the kitchen. \nMichelle believes every family deserves to feel informed\, supported and empowered—not overwhelmed. Her mission is simple: bridge the gap between clinical care and real life so children with hearing loss and their families can thrive. You can find her most active on Instagram: @mama.hu.hears.com. \n_________________________________________________________________ \nHelpful Tips\n\nZoom. The meeting will be held on Zoom.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR—Hearing Loss at Work Series Beyond Performance: Building a Personal Brand with Hearing Loss
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Performance: Building a Personal Brand with Hearing Loss \nREGISTER NOW \nBeing great at your job is important—but being recognized for your value is just as important. \nMany professionals with hearing loss are high performers who consistently deliver strong results\, meet expectations\, and make meaningful contributions. Yet performance alone doesn’t always translate into greater visibility\, career advancement\, or leadership opportunities. \nReduced access to informal conversations\, challenges in group settings\, and misunderstandings about communication styles can create a visibility gap— and impact how individuals are perceived in the workplace. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll explore how professionals with hearing loss can move beyond performance and intentionally shape their personal brand to support career growth\, leadership readiness\, and increased visibility. \nBeyond Performance: Building a Personal Brand with Hearing Loss will explore: \n\nWhat is a personal brand? Understanding what it means and why it matters for career growth.\nThe visibility gap: How hearing loss can affect access\, visibility\, and perceptions in the workplace.\nMaking your value visible: Strategies for communicating your strengths\, accomplishments\, and expertise.\nAuthenticity\, disclosure\, and self-advocacy: Finding approaches that feel right for you while building confidence and credibility.\n\nWhether you’re looking to advance in your current career\, step into a leadership role\, or simply increase your visibility at work\, this conversation will offer practical insights and strategies to help you move beyond simply doing great work—and make sure your value is seen. \nPanelists: Ibrahim Dabo\, Lisa Yaun\, Ryan Walters\, and Theo Shomsky\nModerator: Tori Carapello \nSee panelist information below. This complimentary online event is open to the public\, live captioned and recorded.
