Walking Onward and Upward!
The Walk4Hearing, produced by the Hearing Loss Association of America, had eight unbelievably successful Walks this spring. With thousands of walkers participating at different sites across the country, we could not have hoped for anything better. There will be more Walks this fall. We need your support to help us to continue to reach our goal of raising awareness and generating funds for national and local programs and services for people with hearing loss and their families. Join us today at www.walk4hearing.org.

Spring 2010 Walk4Hearing Featured Walkers
Caleb—Chattanooga Walk4Hearing, May 15 At the age of four, Caleb and his family found out that he had a severe-toprofound hearing loss in his left ear. Caleb’s family was frustrated with the challenges they faced in funding and getting an FM system to assist Caleb. They found groups that would help pay for eyeglasses, surgery, and physical therapy; but not for hearing technology. When Caleb’s family learned about the Walk4Hearing and the Hearing Loss Association of America, they were so happy to have found an organization that supports people that face hearing loss and the same challenges that Caleb is facing and will face for his entire life. Caleb and his family participated as a team called “Step’N for Caleb.”

Oliver—Milwaukee Walk4Hearing, May 16
Oliver was diagnosed with mild-to-moderate hearing loss at birth, thanks to the newborn hearing screening he had at the hospital when he was born. Oliver’s family is thankful because without that screening they believe it would have been years before his hearing loss was identified and he received interventions. Oliver was aided at around five months old and has been using his hearing aids daily ever since. Although hearing loss is common, there is a lot of stigma associated with it. Oliver’s family felt that the energy around the Walk was infectious and it was great for them to see the entire hearing loss community work together to make the event such a success!
