Together, we're bringing hope to hearing loss.
Walk4Hearing is the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) community of support in action, breaking down barriers and empowering people with hearing loss. Our Walks bring hope to people across the U.S., helping them discover they are not alone in facing the challenges of hearing loss.
Walks bring teams of family and friends together to raise funds for hearing health and support people on their journey with hearing loss. Join local HLAA Chapters, hearing care professionals and our nonprofit and business partners committed to helping every person with hearing loss thrive.

HLAA Walk4Hearing National Co-Chairs
We’re thrilled to have Robert Engelke and Brandon Sawalich as Co-Chairs of the 2024 HLAA Walk4Hearing. These respected industry leaders are bringing their voices and support to our mission to achieve better hearing for the growing number of Americans with, or at risk, of hearing loss.
They invite you to form an individual or company team, raise funds, and join Walk Day events where you can learn about hearing technologies, address hearing loss and connect with others experiencing hearing loss and their families.
“CapTel is proud to support HLAA in its mission to increase access for people with hearing loss, helping to educate people about the importance of hearing health and about the latest hearing support technologies. Attending a Walk4Hearing event is a great opportunity to connect with individuals who value hearing health and want to experience a strong sense of community. It is our pleasure to support these events nationwide and we invite you to join the movement for hearing health!”
