“We are seeing a positive trend that more accommodation for those with hearing loss is being made world-wide. Part of this progress is due to updated and new regulations regarding assistive listening systems in the International Building Code (IBC) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),” Schaeffer said. “Even though the ADA has been in effect since 1991 and the new standards have been mandatory since March of 2012. T here are still challenges in clearly understanding what the new standards mean to the AV industry. Listen Technologies is dedicated to embracing the latest assistive listening standards and trends and providing every available resource to ensuring our industry is providing accommodation for those with hearing loss in public venues across the world.”
