Oklahoma students of all ages are eligible. A brief essay & audiogram are required as well as a completed application & acceptance to an Oklahoma institution of higher learning.

HLAA COC has been serving for 28 years in the Oklahoma City area by educating members with tips and hints for better hearing and areas where danger to hearing exists. Hearing loss is an invisible condition but it is thought that 13-15% of the population suffers from mild to extreme hearing loss. The major medical concern of returning veterans is hearing loss. The World Health Organization tells us that hearing loss will be an even larger worldwide problem in the immediate future.
In addition to the scholarships, HLAA COC offers the Hearing Helpers Room for demonstration of hearing assistive devices of all sorts with the option of in home trial. HLAA COC is working to secure access for all with hearing loss by encouraging the installation of hearing loops in public gathering places. Monthly meetings are a place where all are welcome and it is OK if you don’t hear well because the meeting is looped & captioned so you can see as well as hear what is being said. Meetings are held on the third Thursday, 11:30 – 1PM including a lite lunch, at the Will Rogers Garden Exhibition Hall, 3400 NW 36. There is no admission charge. If you have a hearing loss or know and love someone who does, you are welcome.
