From
its inception the Hearing Association (Auckland) Inc facilitated hearing
loss support groups reflecting its role as a self-help organisation. Run
by volunteers in various locations in suburban and country locations,
groups of hearing impaired people met regularly in a friendly relaxed
atmosphere to help each other in coping with hearing loss. Sessions included
a range of activities, discussion topics and information sharing. Family
members were welcome to attend. It is our intention to re-establish these
groups.
