How to Ask Venue Administrators to Put in a
Hearing Loop
When you consider making public spaces accessible for individuals with
disabilities, the obvious first thing you think of are modifications for
wheelchairs. But what about accessibility for the hearing impaired? In
conjunction with telecoil hearing aids or cochlear implants, hearing loops
clarify sounds for hearing challenged individuals, are a less expensive
investment than other disability modifications and may bring in more
patronage. Oftentimes the owners of
the venue simply aren’t aware of how
much a hearing loop can help. With a
little bit of time and effort you might
be able to get them to install one.
Churches and other places of
worship. While many places of
worship are fitted with amplification
equipment, many are not compatible
or inconvenient and there are many places without them at all. If this is the
case, let the congregation and worship leaders know of the benefits of a
hearing loop, such as using a telecoil to hear the speakers clearly through
your own hearing aid or implant. Outline the idea in a page of your weekly
bulletin or community newsletter.
Theatres and gathering places. 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. Contact
the general manager of the venue and ask for a meeting. Be prepared to
explain the costs involved as well as the benefits to the patrons and to the
venue. 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.
Explain the necessity and convenience of hearing loops for you and others.
Explain to them the benefits of their increased business. Even if they do not
engage in the concept the first time, be available as a resource for further
information and inquire if you can check in with them every couple of
months to continue the conversation.
