Yes, You Can Get a Hearing Loop Put in at Your

Favorite Theatre or Church

Most businesses and gathering places

have made themselves wheelchair

accessible, but what about some

assistance for people with hearing

difficulties? With the help of telecoil-

enabled hearing aids or implants, hearing

loops clear up sounds for hearing

challenged individuals, are a less

expensive investment than other disability

modifications and will generate additional

visitors. If you’re having a difficult time hearing the speakers at church, the dialogue

at the local theater, or at any other place you frequent, it may be possible to have a

hearing loop put in with a little effort.

Churches, mosques & synagogues. While many places of worship are equipped with

hearing amplifiers, many are incompatible or inconvenient and there are many places

without them at all. If this is the situation, let the congregation and worship leaders

know of the benefits of this type of system, such as being able to push a button to

customize your ability to hear the speakers clearly through your own hearing aid..

Introduce the idea in a newsletter or bulletin by explaining how a hearing loop works

and how easy it is to install.

Auditoriums, theaters and other public venues. Assembly areas are required by the

Americans for Disabilities Act guidelines to be fitted with hearing amplification

systems to accommodate patrons. To promote this need, you can write to or meet

with the people in charge of these public spaces and business to explain the need and

benefits. Installing a hearing loop can allow the business to tap into a new segment

of the population which sometimes has limited entertainment options.

them the benefits of their increased business. Lastly, remain respectful and stay

informed as a resource to your community.
