The Canadian Hard of Hearing Association (CHHA) gives visibility to an invisible disability.

Introduction

The Manitoba Chapter of the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association developed this web site to help members of the hard of hearing community find the information they need to live successfully with hearing loss. On our Education pages you will find information about Living With Hearing Loss classes, a ten-week program run several times throughout the year, which includes valuable information about hearing loss and coping skills, and also provides students an opportunity to develop their speechreading ability.
