The majority of webcasts, webinars, and social media live streams do not include captions, which excludes many people with hearing loss. If attendees do not understand what is being said, they will not watch your event, making accessibility planning crucial.
Including human-generated real-time captions also makes your event more attractive to viewers who may have English as their second language.
Human-generated captions provide a much-needed link to comprehension and communication access for everyone.

Protecting your ears from loud noises is important for more than simply preventing hearing loss. When you hear loud or unpleasant sounds, the stress response system in your brain is triggered. This leads to increased cortisol and adrenaline levels, increased heart rate and blood pressure, and the production of inflammatory cells. Over time, prolonged inflammation and hypertension can significantly increase the risk of developing heart disease or experiencing a heart attack or stroke.

Emergency alarms and warning sirens leave employees with hearing loss vulnerable and at risk. To create a safe and inclusive environment, add visual notifications, in addition to auditory alerts, to signal emergencies. A few practical ways to keep all employees safe are:
- Install flashing lights and other visual notifications as part of the building’s alarm system in an emergency or evacuation due to fire, weather, or other security threats.
- Implement a text/email system to contact Deaf coworkers and employees with hearing loss during emergencies.
- Consider using a “buddy system” to alert employees of intercom announcements and evacuations.
- Review emergency procedures and evacuation routes, including exits and emergency staircases, with all employees during orientation and practice safety drills.
