The Association for the Hearing Impaired (AFTHI) is a charitable not-for-profit corporation, founded in 1986 and is governed by a community Board of Directors. Our mission is to provide service and support to improve the quality of life for persons with hearing loss of all ages.
The agency primarily serves Warren, Washington & Saratoga Counties (commonly referred to as the Tri-County area), as well as residents of Albany, Columbia, Greene, Hamilton, Rensselaer, Schenectady and Schoharie Counties.
It is the agency’s philosophy that needless loss of hearing must be avoided in persons of all ages, and that people who experience hearing loss be aware of available resources which will enable them to function as independently as possible.
Office hours are Monday – Friday, 9am – 4 pm. Please call us for an appointment 518-761-0554, or drop in.
