Deaf & Hard of Hearing Services

About Deaf & Hard of Hearing Services

We offer services to people of all ages who are Deaf, hard-of-hearing, late-deafened or DeafBlind. The cultural traditions and beliefs of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities are integrated into this program. Our approach acknowledges the importance of and need for direct communication and provides sensitivity to cultural affiliation and to the psychosocial impact of hearing loss. The counseling staff is fully fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and Signed English. We have full-time staff interpretive services to insure comprehensive access to our continuum of care.

More About Hearing Assistive Technology

Hearing assistive technology systems (HATS) are devices that can help you function better in your day-to-day communication situations. HATS can be used with or without hearing aids or cochlear implants to make hearing easier—and thereby reduce stress and fatigue. Hearing aids + HATS = better listening and better communication.

WellPower has available the Comfort Contego® – a digital wireless assistive listening device (or HAT) for consumers with hearing loss to use during their appointments. These WellPower staff can submit a loan request on behalf of their consumer through the WellPower Helpdesk or if at the Recovery Center, at the Recovery Center first floor desk.
