HLAA-TC is the Minnesota chapter of the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA). HLAA-TC is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit that advocates for those with hearing loss. We meet September through May on the third Saturday of the month. We are currently offering HYBRID meetings, which offer the option to attend either in person (at Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute 3915 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, MN 55422) or via Zoom (a registration link for Zoom meeting attendance will always be included in the “Upcoming Meetings” box on our website).
