​We are thrilled to learn that Juliëtte Sterkens, audiologist and hearing-access advocate, has taken on a leadership role at the Center for Hearing Access (CHA), effectively June 1, 2026.

​The Center is a 501(c)(3) Colorado-based non-profit and was founded in 2024 by our own HLAA Colorado member, Wynne Whyman. CHA is a national advocacy initiative of the John G. Shedd Institute that educates and supports consumers, audiologists, hearing instrument specialists, and facility staff about ADA-compliant assistive listening systems and other strategies.
