Where to Age Discussion Group | How to Handle Hearing Loss: Challenges and Strategies, led by Emily Harris and Linda Mathias Kaskel

You are invited to join an informal group gathering at JRC once a month to share and learn from each other about the WHERE of aging and the many decisions that go along with it.

Beginning in January 2027, Where to Age will meet on the THIRD Sunday of each month from 10am-12pm, in the 2nd floor double classroom. Bring a munchie if you feel inspired, JRC will provide coffee and tea.

This month’s focus topic is How to Handle Hearing Loss: Challenges and Strategies. Our leader will be our own Emily Harris, joined by Linda Mathias Kaskel. At the June Where to Age gathering on “Dementia,” many around the circle wanted to learn more about how to handle hearing loss. We are so fortunate that Emily and Linda will be bringing us helpful information and practical tools.

Where to Age is
A circle of folks listening to each other’s stories and sharing their own.
A place to share your thoughts, questions, personal experiences, ideas and concerns about the “WHERE” of aging.
A place to be heard and supported by others.
A place to benefit from the accumulated knowledge of everyone in the group.
