Join SayWhatClub

SayWhatClub currently operates ten email lists and two private Facebook groups. Anyone older than eighteen may subscribe to our lists or Facebook groups. There are no fees or membership dues.

Conversations about daily life sometimes segue into discussion about managing hearing challenges. Consequently, we do not restrict discussion to hearing loss on most of our lists and Facebook groups. Three of our lists limit discussion to special focus topics. The special topics are Advocacy, Cochlear Implants and Meniere’s disease or vestibular disorders. Additionally, one of our Facebook groups is geared to people who are between the ages of eighteen and forty.

If you have questions, you may contact our Hospitality Committee at info@saywhatclub.org

Forum

Forum is our international list, and is culturally diverse. The list averages about twenty-five e-mails per day. Though members have bonded through their hearing loss experiences, intense discussion may occasionally develop over global issues and politics.

Friends

The Friends list generates two to three emails a day. The low volume of emails can be attractive to some people. Friends is exceptionally supportive and avoids controversy, however if you are new to hearing loss and need support or information quickly, you may find Friends less responsive than other general lists.

Vistas

THE VISTAS LIST WILL ACCOMMODATE YOUR NEED FOR CAPITAL LETTERS IF YOU HAVE USHERS SYNDROME OR LOW VISION. THOUGH MOST VISTANS DO NOT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VISION, THIS LIST DEMONSTRATES A COMMITMENT TO INCLUSION RARELY FOUND IN OTHER ONLINE COMMUNITIES. EXPECT TO RECEIVE ABOUT TWO EMAILS PER DAY.

World

World members strike a nice balance between discussion about hearing loss and a variety of other topics unrelated to hearing loss. Many of World’s subscribing members have had hearing loss from a young age. World participants offer a wealth of experience and insight about hearing loss challenges. On average, they post about six messages per day.

Connect

Connect has more subscribers under age forty than our other lists, though there is no age limit. They also tend to focus more on hearing loss topics than other general lists. This is a warm and supportive list that avoids controversy. Expect eight emails per day.

Special Focus Lists

Advocacy (Currently Full)

Advocacy is the act or process of supporting a cause. SWC Advocacy list is a specific focus list for those interested and active in self-advocacy, requesting accommodation that benefits you personally, or broader endeavors that benefit and apply to the entire hearing loss and deaf communities.

Cochlear Implant (CI)

The cochlear implant list focuses on all phases of the cochlear implant process -- cochlear implant features, cochlear implant surgery, qualifying for a cochlear implant, listening practice, and new technological improvements to cochlear implants. If you have a cochlear implant or are interested in learning more about cochlear implants, this is a great place to get first-hand information from others who wear cochlear implants. The cochlear implant list is our most active special focus list and generates about six emails per day.

Meniere's

The Meniere's list is a place where people with Meniere's Syndrome and other vestibular disorders can find peer support, information, coping skills, and encouragement. Meniere’s generates about one email per day.
