SUMMARY:WEBINAR—Breaking the Silence: Hearing Loss\, Mental Health and Substance Use
DESCRIPTION:Breaking the Silence: Hearing Loss\, Mental Health and Substance Use\nDate: Wednesday\, May 14\nTime: 2 p.m. ET \nREGISTER NOW \nMay is Better Hearing and Speech Month and Mental Health Awareness Month.

Through the presentation of lived experiences and research data\, we will encourage participants to engage each other and presenters in constructive conversations about the overlap of these complex issues. The session will spark important conversations that can continue in the future\, and attendees will leave with practical\, empowering strategies grounded in lived experience and data. \nSee panelist information below.
