HLAA Walk4Hearing is a nationwide campaign that brings hope to people with hearing loss in 21 cities across the U.S., meeting them in their communities to raise awareness and show support. Teams of family and friends join with local HLAA Chapters and nonprofit and business partners to raise funds for local programs and promote hearing health. Walk4Hearing is HLAA’s community of support in action, breaking down barriers to hearing health and empowering people with hearing loss.
Bringing Hope to Hearing Loss
Walk4Hearing is full of hope and encouragement to help families and individuals with hearing loss thrive. These participants are sharing their experiences and hope you can join us at a Walk4Hearing this year.
The Walk is always encouraging, year after year to participate and has brought hope to our family. The experience of being together with people who understand what it is like to have a hearing loss and/or have a child, family member, or friend with a hearing loss is incredible.

Whenever I go to a Walk4Hearing, the energy of the people around fills me with enthusiasm and hope. I remember my first time with HLAA; just knowing that I wasn’t the only one struggling with hearing loss. It has opened a new world for my family and myself. HLAA is an excellent opportunity to give others what HLAA has given us: the feeling of bringing hope and supporting one another.
