Sam, Anything that you can do would be great. Solange is also on board. Between the two of you hopefully they will pay attention. According to Courtney they...
I, too, am able to help out. And being in the vicinity of AAA headquarters...maybe I can be of service. As a precaution, I am bringing my own personal FM to...
Jill~ It is wise to bring your own FM System. I always bring mine, too. Depending on the ALD they provide sometimes you can connect your FM with theirs (use...
Hi Suzanne, I have sent an e-mail regarding the ALD situation. I asked what were Clarity's primary reasons for retracting their bid, etc and why they felt they...

I am still trying to see if I can even go to AAA. Here's a thought though -- maybe Hearing Loss of America (SHHH) who always provides ALDS at their...
Tricia I agree SHHH (I still don't know the new name) would be an excellent resource for AAA to work with. In the past I believe that Terry Porter (who is...

Suzanne, to me it would seem that SHHH had MANY more hard of hearing people to accommodate than AAA and yet they are able to do it. How many AAA attendees do...
Tricia From what I have been told, it is not the number of attendees that's the problem; it is the number of rooms and the size of the rooms. They need to...
SHHH is now the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) for those of you who aren't already aware. You're absolutely right that HLAA and even AGBell have...
... The reason HLAA does so well accomodating so many people is that the organization takes hearing loss seriously. Hearing in a big lecture Hall can be done...

Hi, I have a few minutes, and I thought I'd jot a quick note in reply. I have felt that the staff is not very well versed in accommodations (there has been a...
Stacey, That is a good idea. It's been tossed around before in the past. Maybe we didn't have enough members before to support the idea. maybe now we do. I...
I like this name. I think it describes us best and I definitely think we should avoid using "hard of hearing" in our title. So far, the best I can come up...
As an outsider (no hearing loss) I would avoid the use of National as we currently have international members. IAAHL or just AAHL __________________________ ...
Brad, I'm happy to hear we have some audiologists on the list-serve with no hearing loss! I've got to start "thinking outside the box" more often! Great...
How many HOH Audiologists do you think there are (in America that attend AAA)? We can start there. Then, how many HOHAs need ALDS? How many use this HOH...
Tricia There are about 70 HOH Audiologists that use our list. There are probably a lot more than that in America. Some of our members are international, so...
I think there are audiologists out there who may not even know that such a group of individuals, like those on this list, exists. Or, even if they are aware...

I kind of like Association of Audiologists with Hearing Loss (AAHL) or Association of Audiologists with Hearing Impairment (AAHI). Would it be an association...
Tricia, I would avoid the use of the term "impairment" as it is not in political favor by most consumers. I like the statement of purpose but would suggest a...
I agree with Brad: The mission statement should be vague enough to describe the mission of the organization (to provide resources for audiologists with hearing...
AAHL is a great name, I like that one. I am pleased to see the direction that this is going, it is exciting to see. I just finally had the chance to surface...
I know this is a digression but we are a VERY knowlegable group of audiologists. Has anyone thought about perhaps putting a workbook together with all the...
Brad, I agree with you on the "impairment" term. I am just throwing stuff out there. I agree with your revision of the mission statement. What exactly are...
Tricia, "Resources and support they need" is not too vague for a mission statement. As I mentioned, you don't necessarily want a mission statement to be so...
