TRAINED INSTRUCTORS

The Canadian Hard of Hearing Association is training new speechreading instructors to help people living with hearing loss across Canada.

Our Instructors have attended specialized training courses, received course materials and undergone evaluation of their demonstrated skills and knowledge base to ensure quality services for people seeking assistance in learning speechreading techniques (commonly known as lipreading), communication strategies, information about assistive technology, programs and other supports to aid them in their addressing hearing loss.

If you, or someone you know is looking for speechreading and communication strategy courses in your community, check out our listing of trained instructors below:
