You Have to Ask – Advice for Getting a Hearing
Loop Put in at Your Favorite Theater or Church
The majority of public places and
businesses have made their buildings
wheelchair accessible, an extremely
visible disability, but may be unaware of
the less visible challenges faced by
people who have hearing loss. Installing
a hearing loop improves speech and
other sound for patrons with telecoil
compatible hearing aids, is less
expensive than other modifications and will increase visitors or customers. If
you’re having a difficult time hearing the sermon at church, the actors at the
local theater, or at any other place you frequent, it may be possible to have
a hearing loop installed with a little time and effort.
Churches and places of worship. While many places of worship are fitted
with amplification equipment, many are incompatible or inconvenient and
there are many places without them at all. If this applies to your favorite
worship space, bring it to the attention of organizational leaders and be sure
to point out how a hearing loop will make listening to speakers much easier
for their members. Outline the idea in a page of your weekly bulletin or
community newsletter.
Theatres, auditoriums & sports arenas. In the United States, it is a legal
requirement for pubic assembly spaces to have audio amplification. A
hearing loop is an easy way for a venue to comply with this law. Write a
letter or schedule a meeting to speak with the managers of your favorite
locations discussing this need and the good things that will come of their
investment. For example, these places will see an increase in attendance
because people with hearing challenges will be able to participate.

Information you’ll need. Whether you speak with the people in charge, write
a letter or create a poster, it is important to share the facts to create
awareness and understanding. Define hearing loop, its function and costs.
Inform those in charge of the benefits to you and other patrons. Entice them
with the increases in patronage they will gain. Even if they don’t engage in
the concept the first time, be available as a resource for further information
and ask if you can check in with them every couple of months to continue
the conversation.
