Description
The Swedish Association of Hard of Hearing People (HRF) is a national popular movement with no political or religious ties. Today the association has all of 33 000 members, organised into more than 200 local clubs in 22 districts.
The HRF vision is for a society where impaired hearing is not a hinder, but a natural part of a diverse community; a society without discrimination, one where all of Sweden’s 1.3 million hard of hearing people can participate in studies, work and cultural activities, and where good aids are a right, not a question of income.
HRF includes members who are hard of hearing, of all ages, and also late deafened adults, persons who have tinnitus or Menière’s disease or who are oversensitive to sound. HRF also provides support for parents and families.
