Hi Everyone,
Jim Rau has started a survey with help from Ann Thomas, who is part of the Get In The Hearing Loop Committee to find out about Communication Access at the VA. Jim has had difficulty getting a loop system installed with his VA and was wondering if others were having trouble as well. We are hoping to send this to the veteran membership of HLAA and both Basecamp and HLAA Veterans group. We would appreciate your suggestions and input to the survey draft.
