Information, education, support and advocacy
for people with hearing loss

Welcome!

• Do you or someone you know have a hearing loss? 
• Do you need help in learning how to deal with difficult hearing situations?
• Do you want to learn about the latest advances in hearing aids and other hearing technologies?
• Would you like to work on concerns for hard of hearing people?

If you answered yes to any of these questions and live in Washington state, then read on.  We have the information you need on hearing loss in both adults and children, frequently asked questions regarding hearing loss, hearing disorders like tinnitus (ringing in the ears) or Meniere's disease, cochlear implants, new technologies, noise and hearing loss, links to some useful on-line resources, books and videos of interest, and state news and events of our national, state and local chapters.  

Hear what our members say about their involvement with SHHH. 

 If you think you might have a hearing loss, but are unsure, take the 5 minute hearing test.
