CHS Dryden Office Closure
Dear CHS Clients:
After careful consideration, we have decided to close The Canadian Hearing Society (CHS) Dryden office as of June 27, 2008.
As a non-profit organization, our focus is on ensuring that the needs of culturally Deaf, oral deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people are met, particularly in underserved areas. We are making the decision to close our Dryden office because we feel confident that our clients will receive the services they require from other agencies that are both prescribing and dispensing hearing aids.
Since October 1, 2002, The Canadian Hearing Society has provided the residents of the Dryden community with exceptional service in the areas of hearing aid dispensing, communication device sales, and counseling services. Although we will no longer provide hearing aid and devices sales our counselling services will remain in place.
Until the June 27 closing date, our hearing instrument dispenser, Nancy Hatch, and receptionist/secretary, Claudette Richard, will continue to serve the Dryden community. Our Kenora hearing health care counsellor, Dianne Griffiths, will also attend the community.
Our office will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the following dates until the closure:
May 13th – 15th
May 20th – 23rd
May 26th – 28th
June 3rd – 6th
June 23rd - 27th
For existing clients, we will be happy to provide you with the following services:
Hearing aid warranty repairs
· delivered through our Dryden office until June 27th
· sent or delivered to our Kenora office
Communication Device (CDP) orders and repairs
· Orders can be placed with any CHS office or by purchasing on-line at www.chs.ca
· Devices to be repaired should be sent directly to the manufacturer listed in your product information
Client files
· If you are an existing CHS client, we would be happy to make a copy of your file for transfer to a local health care professional of your choice, upon the provision of a signed release form
· All original client files will remain with CHS
