by Center for Hearing Access
The Center for Hearing Access is a US-based nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding the availability of hearing loops and ADA-compliant assistive listening systems in public spaces. It functions as a national clearinghouse for hearing loop information, advocacy tools, and location data.
The center maintains searchable, state-by-state directories of hearing loop, FM, and infrared assistive listening system locations across the US and Canada—covering conference centers, courthouses, hotels, libraries, museums, performing arts venues, and retail counters. It provides ADA compliance guidance for facilities, offers resources for audiologists and hearing instrument specialists, and connects users with vetted loop installers. An integrated Google Maps tool lets users find looped venues near them.
The Center for Hearing Access primarily serves hearing aid and cochlear implant users who rely on telecoil (T-coil) technology to connect wirelessly to hearing loop systems, as well as venue managers, architects, and audiologists working to improve hearing accessibility in public and commercial settings.
