HEARING LOSS ASSOCIATION- QUIET CORNER (FORMERLY QCSHHH ) INTRODUCTION
Quiet Corner SHHH started in the fall of 1998 when letters were sent to everyone listed
in the TTY Directory living north of Norwich and east of the Connecticut River. Several of the founders live in Ashford so
we first met there in the Pompey Hollow Community Room. We later moved across the street from the Town Hall, to the Ashford
Senior Housing Complex. We use the Library's Computer Assisted Notetaker - C.A.N. - a vital asset for hard of hearing
people. Every meeting our hearing secretary, types into C.A.N. what is being said so that all can read and follow discussions.
We are indebted to the Babcock Library for their friendly sponsorship and allowing us to use their Notetaker and the Ashford
Housing Authority for the use of the Senior Housing Community room.
We were accepted into SHHH in February 1999
and became active in a number of projects locally and in the State. In October 2000, Quiet Corner SHHH incorporated
as a non-stock, not-for-profit corporation under the laws of the State of Connecticut. Our corporation has received tax exempt
status with the Internal Revenue Service. ********WE ARE NOW NAMED HEARING LOSS ASSOCIATION- QUIET CORNER*************
