Don't know if this is useful but the article "Word Recognition Versus Sentence Comprehension on a Speechreading Task" by: Jesse E. Dancer, Priscilla N. Davis, and Jennifer O'Neil American Annals of the Deaf Volume 132, Number 1, March 1987 pp. 43-45 includes this author notation: "Ms. O'Neil is an audiologist at the Boston Guild for the Hard-of-Hearing."

Here are two sources that I think could be helpful->except they're either pay-walled or in print... http://books.google.com/books/about/Rehabilitation_Measures_for_the_Hard_of.html?id=Y5q_NwAACAAJ http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1288/00005537-195006000-00006/abstract;jsessionid=D154E21479A618E8D588C30624116944.f02t04 Vonioni (talk) 22:55, 22 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

This org was one of the earliest to provide services for the Deaf community, specifically early childhood interventions. Lots of sources on this are print-only, so I'm digging the up still, but here are some:

Rehabilitative Audiology: Children and Adults, edited by Jerome G. Alpiner, Patricia A. McCarthy. Page 60 , talks about how BGHH was one of the first agencies to provide training.

Challenging Professional Career: Teaching the Deaf..., book by BGHH.

Good nomination for DYK: Colin Powell met his wife, Alma Powell, while she was working for BGGH.
