Libraries are vital for healthy communities. They give people the opportunity to explore new ideas, find jobs, socialize, study, research, and provide a gathering place that is inclusive. People who are hard of hearing can benefit from library services that are accessible by having technologies available to them that support reducing barriers due to poor acoustics, distance, lighting, and background noise.  

Consult with Accessible Hearing Solutions to find out what technologies can help reduce barriers. Common solutions include counter loop systems and the Phonak Roger Soundfield Systems for meeting room spaces. We provide training and installation and also work with you to develop information to the public on how to easily connect to these systems with hearing aids and cochlear implants.
