The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA)—the largest US advocacy group for people with hearing loss—has been busy working with the FDA, FTC, FCC, HHS, NIDCD, CTA, and the various professional and industry groups in hearing healthcare on virtually everything related to hearing and access issues. In this 26-minute podcast, HLAA Executive Director Barbara Kelley talks with Hearing Review Editor Karl Strom about:
•HLAA’s plans for its upcoming convention on June 23-25,
•Thoughts and concerns about the FDA’s proposed rules for over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids,
•The possibility of Medicare coverage for hearing aids and related services in the near future,
•How diversity, equity, and inclusion in hearing healthcare might be improved and expanded, and
•Information about the early-2022 website launch from the Industry-Consumer Alliance for Accessible Technology (ICAAT)—a collaboration between HLAA, Gallaudet University and the American Institutes for Research—that brings together technology developers with consumers who have hearing loss to create and inspire more accessible, innovative and responsive technologies.
