Re: [HLAAGITHL] HLAA Not Promoting Telecoil & Hearing Loops #advocacy #githl-toolkit #hearingloop

Stephen, You’re a good person to ask. I’ve been promoting room loops for years. I got my church to install one. I did get the T-coil logo posted on a sign outside the building but they refused to

I agree; demo is by far the best. How about laying out, with OK from City Hall, a simple loop on the sidewalk (see, I can speak American) a nd invite people to listen it, with their hearing

Re: [HLAAGITHL] HLAA Not Promoting Telecoil & Hearing Loops #advocacy #githl-toolkit #hearingloop

Steve, as always you’re right on target. One clarification needed though. Explaining what a telecoil does to a first time hearing aid buyer is like talking to the wind. It has to be demonstrated as

Re: [HLAAGITHL] HLAA Not Promoting Telecoil & Hearing Loops #advocacy #githl-toolkit #hearingloop

Carol - you're absolutely right. Since March of 2012 any new or substantially upgraded PA system in a qualifying place of assembly is required under the ADA to have an assistive listening system -

Re: [HLAAGITHL] HLAA Not Promoting Telecoil & Hearing Loops #advocacy #githl-toolkit #hearingloop

Too often audiologists use the chicken and egg argument, that there are too few places that are looped. But what they keep missing is that it’s not necessarily looped rooms that are the reason for

Re: [HLAAGITHL] HLAA Not Promoting Telecoil & Hearing Loops #advocacy #githl-toolkit #hearingloop

Hi Ginevra - You're absolutely right in your assessment that hearing care providers are a big roadblock in raising awareness and availability of telecoils and loops. In my opinion they are the

Re: Final-version captioning #poll-notice

Edited might be the wrong word. Real time guesses each utterance as it is spoken. Final version is looking at the last few seconds of utterances which give it context. The extra context means it can

Re: Final-version captioning #poll-notice

I haven't yet voted but does "Final Version" captions mean the raw captions from a CART provider that have been edited?

Re: Captioning question #Captioning

Yes - I agree with this totally. That has been my experience as well. Arlene

Re: Captioning question #Captioning

I just want to point out that preferences probably depend on the quality. ASR got a bad name because it was so often wrong. It has improved enormously. If anyone uses ASR with their Innocaption app

Re: Captioning question #Captioning

After seeing Ed's post, I think I understand what "final-version" captioning is. It is verbatim but in small phrases. I can see where it may be more accurate and possibly easier to read since there is

Re: Captioning question #Captioning

Hi, Sara I heard of captions that are not verbatim but display the essence of the conversation. I have not seen this in practice. It would be interesting to find a video that uses this method. Most

Re: Captioning question #Captioning

All, I prefer real time and allow for the mistakes that usually are minor. Having to wait for for That is my take."accurate" captioning really sets me back being at live meetings. Jack

Re: Captioning question #Captioning

I prefer real time. I can hear, but miss a lot of words or phrases. Unless the captions are as close to the spoken word as possible they do me no good. The ASR has improved greatly during this past
