What is NDHHS?

NDHHS Northeast Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services (NDHHS) is New Hampshire's "one-stop" resources for services specific to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community and for information about hearing loss. If we don't have the services you need, we can refer you to someone who does. Please contact us with any questions, comments or feedback you have.

Information about and access to a multitude of social services often does not reach deaf individuals unless effective means of communication are available. NDHHS, with staff fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and sensitive to issues regarding deafness and hearing loss, is ideally situated to provide access to these consumers.

Our Mission:

Dedicated to serving Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals in an environment that is communicatively unrestricted and "natural" to them
Committed to hiring staff members who are fluent in sign language and capable of identifying and meeting consumers' preferred mode of communication
Committed to the provision of services in a culturally sensitive environment, which promote independence and productivity
NDHHS seeks to empower, educate and advocate for equal access and opportunity for Deaf and Hard of Hearing citizens of New Hampshire
