Support Groups

The Ear Research Foundation hosts support groups to build a community for those with hearing loss, or disorders of the ear.

Ear Research Foundation Support Groups

The principle purpose of support groups are to create an environment for people with similar experiences or concerns.  This creates a community of support, advice, and comfort.

The Ear Research Foundation has hosted and facilitated support groups for many years.  

All of our groups were put on hold during the pandemic.  We are revitalizing post-pandemic, presenting more groups and offering a hybrid format.  

Attendees are able to join virtually from anywhere, or in-person at our office.
