Høreforeningen (The Danish Association of the Hard of Hearing) is a nationwide, non-profit association founded in 1912 that works to improve the conditions for people affected by hearing loss, tinnitus, Ménière's disease, deafness and cochlear implants in Denmark. Its work covers advice and guidance for members and their relatives, a writing-interpreter service through its Tolkeformidlingen, local branches in most Danish municipalities, expert committees on areas such as children, young people, employment and cochlear implants, and political advocacy on hearing care, including a proposed treatment guarantee for hearing aid users. The association publishes the member magazine Hørelsen four times a year and runs activities such as webinars, family courses and youth camps. Membership is open to anyone who wants to support people with hearing difficulties. The association is governed by an annual national assembly (landsmøde) and a main board (hovedbestyrelse).
