We frequently flaunt statistics about how many Americans have a measurable degree of hearing lossthe numbers I recently read quoted 17%but we often forget that along with these numbers come a great deal of misunderstanding about what this actually means
The Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF), located in Ashland, Oregon, is known for a lot of great things. They’re known for fantastic performances, Shakespearean or otherwise….
Many people who experience hearing loss arent aware of assistive listening options that are available to them when attending concerts, museum exhibits , theater performances, lectures, sporting events in stadiums or ballparks, classes at school, etc,.
When in New Orleans, try the gumbo. Visiting Philly? Cheesesteak, of course. Seattle? Try the Fish! What better way to explore a city than by sampling its culinary masterpieces?Seattle Bites Food Tour does just that. For three hours, tourists, both vacationers and locals, experience the rich history and culture of Seattles famous Pike Place Market while sampling the crème de la crème.

Eliminating communication barriers at the Sanderson Center
I am very happy to say that we have recently made our contribution to what will become a big change for loop technology in the USA. Following a programme of advocacy, including written submissions from Ampetronic and Listen Technologies, an important national (ANSI) accessibility standard has been changed. The revised standard means that loop systems must meet clearly defined performance standards, making good performance legally enforceable.
At Listen Technologies we are passionate about educating people on the pervasiveness of hearing loss. As part of this passion, we invite architects to participate in an open dialogue concerning the laws and new regulations surrounding assistive listening systems.
