“My presentation to the Hearing Loss Association of America - Los Angeles Chapter is now online. In it, I explore why assistive listening technology—like telecoils and Auracast Broadcast Audio—remains essential, even with the most advanced hearing aids and cochlear implants. I cover how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) can support the needs of PWHL. I refer to practical templates for making effective accommodation requests and how consumers can engage their audiologist, use Google Maps to locate accessible venues, and advocate for broader hearing access in your community. “ -Juliëtte Sterkens

🔊 Sound Alert: Here's a volume fact for you:

Sounds at or above 85 dB can contribute to premature hearing loss. 🎧 Whether it's the urban buzz at 85 dB or the concert highs beyond 100 dB, our ears face a lively challenge.

🚗🎶 Let's turn up the responsibility by popping in earplugs when things get loud, taming our headphone volumes, and granting our ears some serene silence. 🌟👂 Every decibel counts, and your hearing health matters for life's harmony.

If you're concerned about your hearing, reach out to our HearingLoss.com®-Certified team. It's a sound step toward awareness and action.
