Hearing Impaired Professionals (HIP)
HIP is a support group for hard of hearing, working-age adults who would like to meet other hard of hearing adults, learn more about effective communication strategies in personal and work relationships, and gain greater self-confidence. Meetings are free, confidential and emphasize personal sharing and growth. In addition, meetings are led by a clinical psychologist who is hard of hearing. HIP meets the third Tuesday of the month from 6:30-8:30 PM at The Hearing and Speech Center, 1234 Divisadero (between Ellis and Eddy Sts.). Parking is available underneath the building, and meetings are also accessible by any bus that runs along Geary--just walk two blocks south from Geary. Newcomers are always welcome.
For more information, please contact Liz Wantuch: drwantuch@sbcglobal.net.

Tinnitus Support Group
The next meeting of the San Francisco Tinnitus Support/Education group
will be TUESDAY APRIL 22 at the usual time of 5:30-7:00 p.m. We meet in
the second floor conference room at The Hearing and Speech Center at
1234 Divisadero Street.
I hope you all saw the article on tinnitus in the New York Times last
week and if you missed it I will bring a copy to the meeting. For those
of you who won't be able to attend the April meeting I want you to know
about what will replace our May tinnitus group meeting. There will be 3
lectures on hearing in honor of better hearing and speech month. All
lectures will take place at the Commonweath Club at 595 Market Street,
2nd Floor. Cost is $8 for
members and $15 for non-members. Although these talks
do not directly
address tinnitus, learning about our hearing and brain and the
connections are very relevant to understanding about tinnitus. I
encourage everyone to try to make it to one of these talks. Our June
meeting will be a discussion of these talks.
