About Us

• WHAT You are invited to the grand opening at the Summit. Let My People Hear, Inc. is launching a new program for hard of hearing. HEAR NOW AT THE SUMMIT. David M. Harrison, Director and hearing loss support specialist, is offering twelve classes dealing with the challenges of hearing loss.
  
  You Can Hear Now at the Summit. All meetings will be equipped with the latest Williams Sound FM listening devices and the state of the art telecoil loop system. The telecoil loop is for those who wear hearing aids with “T” switches or have cochlear implants.
  
  Our goal is to create an atmosphere where everyone can see, hear and understand everything. We are a non-medical hearing loss rehabilitation center for all hard of hearing. Our audiologist will be available to conduct hearing tests by appointment only.
  
  WHEN Classes will be held every Friday, from February 1 to April 26, 2013 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. February 1 is our grand opening for demonstration and enrollment day.
  
  WHERE We will be meeting at the SUMMIT, 6400 Lee Highway, Suite 103, Chattanooga, Tennessee, 37421. We are at the crossroads of Highway 153 and Lee Highway next to the Murphy Express gas station. We are accessible from the Carta transportation Bus service, route #4 (Eastgate/Hamilton Place). There is a lighted sign out front with the words: The SUMMIT facing the highway.

Twenty five per cent of all veterans return from war with hearing loss and tinnitus. Overall one in five Americans suffer hearing loss and need help in dealing with these challenges.
  
  We offer specialize training in hearing strategies, lip or speech reading, communication skills, and hearing loss support. There will be practice sessions, peer mentoring, hearing loss prevention, and great encouragement from other hard of hearing people. All of this at HEAR NOW at the SUMMIT. Call and register now.
  
  HOW MUCH The tuition for the classes has been $150.00, but for this semester only the fee will be $25.00.

  Testimonials
  "The class was helpful to me as a support - just hearing about and meeting others with similar problems was an encouragement. Also, knowing that there are options for help was valuable to me.... All parts of the class were beneficial in some way. For example, I am now personally more aware of how a hearing loss affects relationships. I feel that I am more sensitive to others with the same disability.... "

  From the class, I learned a number of techniques to make communication better, as well as statistics and resources to help the hearing impaired.... One thing that helped me the most was learning to be a little more assertive in letting others know I have a hearing impairment, and what each of us can do to make communication (and thus) life much more meaningful; specifically, among other tips, to explain to people that I read lips; that what they say is important to me, and I need to see their face.... I was impressed with David's commitment in helping others, and the caring he shared with everyone in the classes.... I know this academy can help others...."
