Welcome to the
HLAA Colorado Website!
​

The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA), a 501(c)3 non-profit, is the nation’s leading organization representing people with hearing loss.

​The Mission of HLAA is to open the world of communication to people with hearing loss by providing information, education, support and advocacy.   

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 48 million (20 percent) of Americans have some degree of hearing loss.  It is the third most prevalent chronic health condition in older adults, after arthritis and heart disease, making it an issue of national concern.
