Buying hearing aids? Washington State law requires that you be told about Bluetooth and telecoil options.
#Telecoils connect you to #HearingLoops in public spaces all over the world.
People with hearing loss--especially seniors--benefit from several new laws in Washington State. We're proud to have supported these efforts.

No one should have to ask permission for any kind of disability access.
Folks don't need to ask for a ramp, elevator or curb-cut. Our ADA is clear about what is required. That includes assistive hearing technology and strategies that deliver effective communications for all - in places of public accommodation.

Hearing loops have so many uses, and there are so many places that we can provide hearing access to people who need it.

Some medical offices have hearing loops at the counters. When you make your doctor's appointment, tell them you have a hearing loss and ask if they have hearing loops or other hearing assistive technology.
Read Becky's post for more ideas.

One way to be a hearing ambassador: Tell people you have a hearing loss, then ask for a #HearingLoop.
People with #HearingLoss who attended the coronation in Westminster Abbey could tune into the #HearingLoop to hear more clearly.
Is there a historic place or a house of worship that you'd like to see looped?
