Hearing Loss Association of America
(HLAA) is a national organization with grass-
roots, community minded aspirations to improve awareness of
hearing loss
Since 2006 over 18,000 walkers have
raised over $3.5 million dollars to increase public
awareness of hearing and balance and its
disorders
Known as the Walk4Hearing and
sponsored by Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA), this year’s 23
walks are planned for cities across the country
HLAA hopes that through Walk4Hearing the issue of
hearing loss will be brought into the national spotlight
Their hope is that improved awareness
will ultimately improve early diagnosis and
treatment of hearing loss
HLAA was founded in 1979 by Howard E.
"Rocky" Stone, a retired CIA officer who was passionate about the
need for prevention and treatment of hearing loss
as well as regular hearing screenings
throughout life
The Walk4Hearing is a perfect example of how HLAA is community-minded and invested in improving the lives of those
with hearing loss
