    Accessible Hearing Solutions is a gold sponsor for this event and is providing assistive
    devices to improve accessibility for attendees who are hard of hearing.


​How to Access the Assistive Listening Devices at this conference:
​

Picture
  • The conference will be equipped with an Induction Hearing Loop for both the presentations and the registration desk.
  • Attendees who have a hearing aid or cochlear implant with a telecoil can directly access the conference audio to help overcome the effects of background noise, distance, and reverberant acoustics in the room.  
  • To use, set your hearing aid or cochlear implant to the “T” or “telecoil” setting.  ​
  • For the registration desk, make sure to stand within one meter of the counter loop.  
  • For the presentation, make sure to sit in the designated area that is looped. You can tell where by the blue international symbol of access for hearing loss (above).
  • If you have hearing aids or a cochlear implant and you are not sure if the device has a telecoil, ask your hearing healthcare provider.  If the telecoil is inside, request that you learn how to activate it prior to attending the conference.
  • For attendees who do not have telecoils inside their devices or who do not have hearing aids at all, a number of personal assistive listeners/headsets will be available for loan.  Please ask to borrow one at the registration desk and return at the end of each conference day.​ Please see below for a picture of a personal assistive listener and a user guide.
