The Palm Beach County Chapter of the HLAA is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization devoted to the welfare and interests of those who have hearing loss. Everyone is welcome at monthly meetings: ALL ages and ALL degrees of hearing health or loss.
Our Mission: To support and empower people with all degrees of hearing loss — to help them better understand their hearing and communication challenges, and develop strategies to be safe and to thrive.
Together, we can make hearing loss visible! Friends, family, employers, medical professionals and business owners are encouraged to attend chapter meetings. Speakers and presentations are publicized in advance. Please join our e-Mailing list by sending us your email address.
Next Meeting: Saturday, May 4, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. Please join us at City Hall in Boynton Beach. Our meeting room is fully looped so plan to “activate” your telecoil (T-Coil) when you arrive 🙂
Chapter meetings are free and are held from 10:30 am to 12 noon, on the first Saturday of each month, September to May, at Boynton Beach City Hall. Note one exception: March meeting will be held on March 9, 2024! Click here for the 2023-24 Schedule (PDF)
