Past Events

Can Every Patron with Hearing Loss Fully Participate at Your Library?

1.1 million Coloradoans have a significant hearing loss. That's 1 in 5 over the age of 12 who have this invisible disability. The degree to which this impacts them is as diverse as the individual themselves.  Hearing aids and cochlear implants can be of great assistance, but unfortunately, don't restore hearing back to normal. That’s why the ADA mandates assistive listening systems (IR, FM, and hearing loops) in difficult listening situations.
 
This session will help you understand this population's difficulty and the need for different strategies for accessibility by describing hearing loss, personal hearing devices, and pros and cons of different assistive listening systems (ALS). We’ll focus on the most user-friendly ALS: hearing loops. Presented by HLAA-Colorado Springs, Longmont Hearing and Tinnitus Center, and Let’s Loop Colorado.

Come learn how you can hear speech clearly at places of worship, theaters, lectures, etc. with hearing loops!

The new year is a great time to find out about resources related to hearing loss. If you would like to learn about a variety of options to assess and address hearing loss, please join this program with a panel of local professionals who can help: Center for People with Disabilities, Longmont Hearing and Tinnitus Center, Let’s Loop Colorado!, and Longmont Senior Services.
