Our Mission:

To empower the deaf and hard of hearing through advocacy, education and communication.


Welcome...

Thank you for visiting the Deaf/Hard of Hearing Connection (DHHC) website. DHHC is a non-profit agency providing services to individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing persons in West Michigan. It is our mission to serve individuals living in Muskegon, Ottawa, Oceana and Newaygo Counties.

We currently provide Video Remote interpreting throughout the country through a contract with the Communication Access Center based in Flint, Michigan. We also provide community sign language interpreters, referrals, education, advocacy, job club, and sign language classes.

ANNOYANCE CALLS:

We have been receiving many calls, contacts from this web site or e-mails from individuals across the country reporting annoying calls originating from a toll-free number attributed to this agency. The number (866) 384-4414 was a number we used some time ago but that has been disconnected for approximately two years. Apparently, someone has found a way to "spoof" this unused number and use it to make harrassing phone calls. We apologize for this inconvenience, however, we have done everything we can possibly do at this point to address the issue with our local provider, Verizon. There is legislation pending to make "spoofing" illegal. In the meantime, you can report these annoyance calls to a hotline at (800)348-8727.

E-MAIL SCAM:

We have also been receiving notices from our contact page that someone is sending out notices of a monthly drawing where winners are eligible or have already won $100,000. This is a scam. We are not currently running drawing of any type.
