As library staff, it is our duty to ensure that our library spaces and services are accessibile to all community members, including those with hearing loss. Join us to better understand the difficulties people with hearing loss experience and the need for different strategies for communication and accessibility to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This on-demand webinar covers the benefits and limitations of personal hearing devices, the ADA law and effective communication as it pertains to libraries, and the pros and cons of different assistive listening systems (ALS). This on-demand webinar also includes examples of ALS installations at libraries, best practices for RFPs, educational materials for patrons, how to find trained installers of user-friendly technology (hearing loops), and share what is on the horizon.
