patients and find encouragement and support.

Hearing Device Options for Acoustic Neuroma Patients

Presented by Megan Kuester, Au.D, Clinical Audiologist ENT Orlando

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR TO RSVP,
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SUPPORT GROUP LEADERS/FACILITATORS:

Chad Nye, Local Support Group Leader/Facilitator
Elsie Bonilla, Local Support Group Co-Leader/Co-Facilitator, Hablo EspaƱol,

The meeting will be facilitated by Chad Nye, an acoustic neuroma post-treatment patient and
Elsie Bonilla, an acoustic neuroma watch and wait patient.


Who should attend?  Family members, caregivers, friends and interested persons are encouraged to attend.

Benefits of attending a local support group include communicating in a nurturing, non-judgmental environment
with others who have shared a common acoustic neuroma experience; sharing information on dealing with specific problems,
 overcoming handicaps and reassuring others that better times lie ahead; educating and informing each other about the latest
acoustic neuroma topics of interest; and providing emotional support to all patients, both pre- and post-treatment. This helps
in reducing the isolation and loneliness that many acoustic neuroma patients feel.
