About
Founded in 2024, the nonprofit Center for Hearing Access is a national advocacy and education initiative of The John G. Shedd Institute. We champion and educate consumers, facility staff, audiologists, and hearing instrument specialists about all ADA-compliant assistive listening systems and other strategies to increase access to theaters, libraries, conferences, government offices, healthcare facilities, courtrooms, places of worship, and other public and private spaces. Effective hearing access can be life-changing for people with hearing loss to maintain continued community engagement and rewarding social and cultural experiences.
CHA maintains a robust website with replicable advocacy materials, including templates, videos, articles, vendor lists, hyperlinks and over 150 handouts.
The Center for Hearing Access provides educational and informational resources and does not endorse any product, business, or service.
