Association of Adult Musicians with Hearing Loss (AAMHL)

Proving the loss of hearing does not equal the loss of music!

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

AAMHL's 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 and listings of hearing-accessible performance venues
