Graphics-Signage/Symbols

Signs are not only required by the ADA, but signs also let people with hearing loss know that you have an assistive listening system waiting for them. It’s the ultimate welcome. And signs help ensure your investment is used and enjoyed.

These signs were designed and approved by the national HLAA Get in the Hearing Loop Program team in 2020 and refreshed in 2024. These ADA-compliant graphics are free to everyone to download and print, add to a website and marketing materials, and send to a professional sign printing company.

Below are graphics as well as color specs and usage
