Hear Entendre Québec is the only registered nonprofit organization in Quebec, which serves Anglophones affected by hearing loss. Hear Entendre Québec has been providing ongoing programs, services and support to the hard of hearing community in and around the greater Montreal area since 1979. Many of our team and board members are people affected by hearing loss. We understand and are concerned with the struggles and the difficulties that people with hearing difficulties often experience in their daily lives.
Hear Entendre Québec’s mandate is not only to offer ongoing programs and services but also to connect and inspire those affected by hearing loss, thereby helping to improve the quality of life and counter isolation. The various programs help to raise awareness about the potential consequences of hearing loss, such as isolation, depression, anger, and dementia, to name a few. As a largely “invisible “ disability, there are many “myths” and misconceptions about hearing loss. Our vision is a community where we can hear, be heard and thrive.
