America Is Getting In The Hearing Loop

HLAA leaders could have been singing the
old Steve Allen lyrics, “This could be
the start of something big” when, in
partnership with the American Academy of Audiology,
they kicked off the Get in the Hearing Loop (GITHL)
campaign in 2010. Back then there were just a few
formally organized efforts, such as Loop New Mexico
and Loop Wisconsin, promoting awareness and the
availability of hearing loops in public places. But only
in Michigan, thanks to the groundbreaking work of
Dr. David Myers of Hope College, and at many of the
nation’s HLAA Chapter meetings did hearing loops have
any real presence.

Advocating for hearing loops in public venues is
now a national consumer-led movement that’s
changing the way people hear in those venues.
