Hearing Loss Association of America Get in the Hearing Loop Committee (HLAA GITHL) announces that, at our request, Google Maps recently added a new accessibility attribute for hearing loop systems called Assistive Hearing Loop. The new feature, visible in the About section for businesses and organizations, is easy to find and indicates if a mapped location provides a hearing loop. Hearing loops are the most user-friendly assistive listening option and the first choice for many people. Even in acoustically challenging spaces, a hearing loop lets people participate more fully in daily activities. We need your help getting the word out about how life-changing hearing loops are and helping people with hearing loss find and use them. Choose what you would like to do! See the handout for 5 actions to promote hearing loops.
