Our team will be working from home on Friday, December 19, and our office will be closed for the holidays from December 19 to January 4.

We’ll be back in the office on Monday, January 5, ready to support you in the new year.

As the holiday season brings gatherings, conversations, and celebrations, we want to share a gentle reminder:

If you’re having difficulty hearing or communicating clearly, especially in busy or noisy settings, don’t be shy about speaking up. Let your friends and family know what helps you hear and feel included, whether that’s facing you when speaking, reducing background noise, or slowing the conversation.

Your comfort and connection matter. 💙

Wishing our community a restful, joyful, and accessible holiday season.

This past Sunday, our Holiday Dinner came to life thanks to the dedication, care, and teamwork of our staff, volunteers, and board members. From planning to ex*****on, every detail was handled with heart — and it showed.

Events like this matter. For people living with hearing loss, opportunities to gather in an accessible, welcoming space help reduce isolation and strengthen connection. They create moments where conversations flow, laughter is shared, and everyone feels included.

To everyone who helped make this event possible: thank you for creating a warm, joyful evening for our community. It truly wouldn’t happen without you. 💙

🕎 Wishing a warm and joyful Hanukkah to everyone in our community who celebrates.

As families and friends gather to light candles and share traditions, we’re reminded of something we see every day at Hear Québec:
connection feels brightest when everyone can fully participate.

For many people living with hearing loss, holidays can bring a mix of joy and challenge ; busy rooms, overlapping conversations, and background noise can make it harder to stay engaged.
That’s why we remain committed to creating tools, programs, and supports that help people feel included in the moments that matter most.

This Hanukkah, we hope your home is filled with clarity, warmth, and conversations that feel easy, accessible, and shared.
May these eight nights bring peace, connection, and light. 💙

With care,
The Hear Québec Team
