By removing the barriers to communication and making accessibility a priority, those in the hard of hearing community could be employed more effectively in many of these roles.

Join the movement & Give back this TODAY, Nov. 29th! Your support will help our work in making Barrier Free for all Canadians living with Hearing Loss. Please help us meet our goal this year! http://ow.ly/eO4Z50LQ81k
Advocacy is at the heart of what we do at the national office. We have made great strides on many levels; in government, in captioning, and in the community with the importance of clear masks during COVID. Sheila Serup, CHHA Calgary President, recently wrote an article called, Forty Years of Advocacy for Canadians who are Hard of Hearing http://ow.ly/zziW50LKab6, talking about some of the fantastic progress we have made.
But we are not done. Currently, our focus is on the employment sector to break down barriers and help employers make the necessary accommodations in their workspaces. For this year’s CanadaHelps campaign, we are asking for donations to bring tangible resources and strategies to youth to help them search for meaningful work. Join us today, and please consider a donation to support our youth! Donate today! http://ow.ly/yyXo50LKab7

According to Roberta J. Cordano, in her article in the Harvard Business Review, Is Your Organization Inclusive of Deaf Employees? http://ow.ly/g9ME50LK9tm, the hard of hearing remains largely overlooked by most employers today. HOH youth are being overlooked as well. Please donate today and help us provide resources to help them in their job search. http://ow.ly/pcfl50LK9tn

In this article, Globesmart discusses the ten benefits of being committed to workplace diversity. Benefits like more effective collaboration, improved team performance, and better decision-making, to name a few.
CHHA would like to acknowledge and remember all present and past members of our Canadian Armed Forces this Remembrance Day. We are grateful for your service and your sacrifice.
Often, employers believe hiring someone with a hearing disability will be onerous or even a burden. That couldn’t be further from the truth. People with hearing loss often bring more to the table on many levels at a workplace through their lived experience and ability to adapt and manage difficult situations. Many in the HoH community are adept at problem-solving and finding innovative solutions because they've been doing it all their lives in everyday situations.
