A great class for those hard of hearing or anyone that is supporting someone that is hard of hearing

Do you find that you are having trouble hearing others and following along with conversation? Research shows that hearing aids plus speechreading gives the best results; maybe Speechreading and Coping Classes are for you. You will learn basic speechreading (lip reading) plus strategies to communicate and cope better, and receive information on subjects of interest to the hard of hearing. You will also meet others who share your challenges and are determined to do something about them.

The course runs from April 12-May 17 from 6:30-8:30pm.
