The Palm Beach County Chapter of the HLAA is a non-profit, non-sectarian educational organization devoted to the welfare and interests of those who are hearing impaired and committed to participating fully in the hearing world. All ages are welcome at meetings and membership is not required.
Our Mission: To support and empower people with all degrees of hearing loss — to help them understand their challenges and develop strategies to be safe and to thrive.
Together, we can make hearing loss visible! Friends, relatives, employers, medical professionals and business owners are always welcome at chapter meetings. The point of meeting? To socialize, share tips and ask questions of people who have similar experiences. Speakers and presentations are publicized in advance. Please drop us a note if you’d like to join our mailing list!
Monthly chapter meetings are held at 10:15 am on the first Saturday of each month, October through May, at Boynton Beach City Hall. Click here for 2022-23 Schedule (PDF)
