A new resource is helping people with perceived mild-to-moderate hearing loss evaluate over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. The CLEARdashboard website was developed by the University of Pittsburgh and provides up-to-date, unbiased information. HLAA was an early adviser on the resource.

The panel will be moderated by Dr. Sophie Racine.

Topics will include disclosing hearing loss to employers, navigating crowded work events, tools for coping better in conference rooms and Zoom meetings, and the emotional side of hearing loss in the workplace. We welcome anonymous questions in advance as well as questions at the meeting. The focus of this program will be workplace experience, not tech tips, which were discussed during a recent HLAA National webinar
