Setting Your Venue Up For Success
Thank you for choosing to make your venue more inclusive. Installing assistive listening systems does more than meet accessibility requirements, it creates an environment where every guest feels welcome, heard, and valued. Your commitment to accessibility ensures that people of all hearing abilities can fully participate and enjoy the experiences you offer. Thank you for leading the way in making public spaces truly accessible for everyone
3 important elements for a successful launch of assistive listening at your venue:
1. Promotion: Feature your audio system in newsletters and marketing to attract guests and show your venue welcomes everyone.
2. Signage (Legislative & Awareness): Clear and compliant signage enables guests to easily locate and utilize supplemental audio and assistive listening systems, while also ensuring adherence to legal requirements.
3. Usability: Simple, reliable systems and clear instructions let guests connect easily and enjoy clear audio for a smooth experience.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990. It prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life and mandates certain accommodations in facilities that are open to the public.
Section 219 of the law discusses signage that must be posted alerting patrons to the availability of hearing assistance devices.
Create Your Own Assistive Listening Signage
Clear, visible assistive listening signage isn’t just good practice—it’s the law in many regions, including the United States under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Proper signage ensures that visitors know assistive listening systems are available, empowering them to participate fully in events, tours, performances, and meetings.
Signage serves two critical purposes:
Awareness: Helps guests identify where assistive listening systems are offered and how to access them.
Compliance: Meets legal requirements for public venues, reducing the risk of accessibility violations and penalties.
Whether you operate a theater, house of worship, conference center, or manufacturing facility, posting compliant assistive listening signs is an essential part of creating an inclusive space.

The International Symbol for Assistive Listening
Assistive listening systems transform venue experiences by delivering clear audio directly to a device or smartphone without amplifying background noise.
To ensure guests know a system is available, venues must display the international symbol for deafness at entrances, ticket windows, and guest services.
This symbol is required by the International Building Code (IBC), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), National Building Code of Canada (NBC), and California Building Code (CBC) to indicate communication access for people with hearing loss.
