Mission statement
AAMHL’s mission is to:
1
Create opportunities for adult musicians with hearing loss to discuss the challenges they face in making and listening to music.
2
Create opportunities for public performance either individually or in groups by adult musicians with hearing loss who might not otherwise have access to these opportunities
3
Provide ongoing feedback to hearing health professionals, hearing researchers, manufacturers of hearing assistive technology, music educators and others to improve hearing device technology relative to music performance and enjoyment
4
Provide educational opportunities to enable hard of hearing and deaf adults to appreciate and make music in ways not previously available
Our initiatives include
* print and mail informational brochures about AAMHL
* create hearing-accessible conferences and workshops on making music with a hearing loss
* produce hearing accessible concerts by both hearing and hearing impaired musicians
* produce recordings of performances by hearing-impaired musicians
* produce informational materials on listening to music with a hearing loss
