Dear Clients and Friends of CHC,
Your CHC clinical team has now been working remotely for two full weeks. It has been a whirlwind of learning for all of our staff, and I’m sure for you as well. We are all trying to stay connected with our work, with our friends and family, with our medical providers, and with so many other entities that have created remote opportunities for learning and recreation.
As we continue to provide our individualized clinical care, education and support virtually through a computer screen or phone, we want you to know that all of us at CHC really are “here” for you, just as we've always been - to troubleshoot your hearing aids, offer tinnitus therapy, provide educational support or teach you new technology solutions.
To that end, we have a new blog series called Hear and Connect that offers tips, technical guidance and special resources to help you navigate in these unprecedented times. From how to use Zoom when you use hearing aids and/or rely on captioning to resources for fun activities for you and your child with hearing loss, we are here.
