I'd like to start a support group for Hard of Hearing individuals. I'm 25 a recent college grad and HOH. I've been wearing hearing aides for 3 years now and everyday I learn new things about myself. I've been struggling a lot recently because I feel alone in the hearing world and can't really express these feelings to the people around me, they can't fully understand. When I get frustrated I always turn to the internet to find an outlet, I have yet to find any outlets for young adults who are hearing impaired. I'd love to meet other people who struggle with the same things I do. Let me know if you are interested.

Have you tried contacting the Scranton State School for the Deaf?

Scranton School for the Deaf is a great stepping stone to starting your group. If not, contact a local hospital, they can help you get off the ground.
I started a different kind of support group here in Wayne County and it takes a TON of legwork. You may also have to learn about non-profit status depending on how far you want to take it.
Good luck - I love go-getters!
