For a Century, HEAR Wisconsin has worked to ensure that people with hearing loss can live independent, connected, and fulfilling lives with full access to communication, education, and community. Watch for more information as we plan our 100th Anniversary – “Celebration of the Century” at the beautiful Baird Center.
