About this Event
Reconnect with the People Who Matter Most.
Hearing issues are the most common service-connected disability, with 3.6 million U.S. veterans receiving benefits for hearing loss and tinnitus. But you don't have to navigate these communication barriers alone.
Join us for an essential masterclass and Q&A with Lynda Strelitz from CapTel Outreach.
This session introduces the Heroes With Hearing Loss® program, which is dedicated to reconnecting veterans with their families, friends, colleagues, and healthcare professionals through lifestyle-focused solutions.
In this high-value session, you will learn:
- How to Access a Free Phone: The exact steps to receive a No Cost CapTel Captioned Telephone.
- No VA Red Tape: Why this program is completely independent of the VA disability claim process.
- Broad Eligibility: Understanding that your hearing loss does not have to be service-related to qualify for this life-changing device.
- The Scope of the Issue: Insights into the veteran hearing loss epidemic (impacting over 2.3M with hearing loss and 1.3M with tinnitus) and how to minimize its daily impact.
Who Should Attend?
- Veterans experiencing any level of hearing loss or tinnitus.
- Family members and caregivers seeking communication solutions for loved ones.
- Healthcare professionals and veteran advocates.
About the Speaker & Program: Lynda Strelitz represents CapTel Outreach and the Heroes With Hearing Loss® program. Their mission is to provide accessible, high-quality captioned telecommunications so that no veteran is left isolated by hearing challenges.
