Consumer Advocacy-Educate People You Know About Assistive Listening Systems

Educate people you know about assistive listening systems. That might be at an educational or support group, or one-on-one with friends and family. You might even know more than the inexperienced staff member at an event.

Ideas:

• Advocate confidently, knowing that you may help someone significantly
• Share a short story that describes the difference an assistive listening system makes for you personally
• Informally educate one-on-one
• Discuss in a support group
• Conduct a formal presentation, in person or on Zoom
• Arrange for a try-out session, “Come try out the assistive listening system” before the event/performance

Feel free to reach out to Center for Hearing Access (CHA) with questions or support. CHA can also conduct training, via Zoom. CHA contact information
