Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation of Southern California (LSH) mission is to Help Restore the Gifts of Sight & Hearing. Our history detailed on LSHF.org/About-LSH has upheld our mission and touched the lives of over 32,500 people in 12 California Counties (over 60% of California’s...
An online hearing test should not be used to replace a clinical diagnosis from a physician or hearing specialist. Even before Covid, there were many things we could all accomplish from our homes: from shopping for clothes, to food delivery from your favorite restaurant. Covid has only increased...
This is solely for your information, do not substitute for a doctor’s medical advice. Many of us would argue that the last couple of years have been very stressful. The pandemic has caused shutdowns, political unrest, employment issues, and, of course, health concerns. Try as we might, it is very...
The online eye test linked in this article should not be used instead of a clinical diagnosis from an ophthalmologist or eye specialist. To do the test you will need to consent to the processing of your health data for the purposes of obtaining a result. Taking care of your eyes is part of...
Happy New Year! You may have already started on your New Year’s resolutions, such as joining a gym or eating less take-out food and maybe already broken a few of those great intentions. I know I’m guilty of making and breaking resolutions, but given the covid-19/world’s heath focus of the...

Last week, we shared our 10 Tips for Being Deaf Friendly During Holiday Gatherings. Today, we would like to share some ideas for making the holidays less stressful for people who have lost some (or all) of their sight, or who have other vision issues. Many of us who celebrate this holiday season...

I’ve always thought it appropriate that Veterans Day is followed closely by Thanksgiving. Here at LSH, we are so thankful for our veterans, active military and their service to our country. Last week we celebrated Veterans Day, a special day when we paid our respects to those who have served in...
When I think about the people I want to honor on Veterans Day, I don’t have to look far. Right here at LSH, on our own Board of Directors, we have a wonderful example in our Vice President, Scott Quinlan. Scott joined the Army at 19 and served six years of military service just before the first...
