Hearing well is important to aging well. Even more important is the audiologist or hearing care provider you choose. Choose carefully - read how here: ncoa.org/article/what-older-… #hearingloss #hearingaid @NCOAging @HLAA @AcademyofAuD

This is such a sweet video. I can't tell you the number of people I have talked to that feel the same about @JoeBiden. 😢

FULL SPEECH: Kamala Harris electrifies the crowd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as she delivers her first official campaign speech for the presidency.
Worth watching in its entirety and sharing far and wide.

Contacta loop spotting at the main ticket office at London's King's Cross station. Not only are our hearing loops at the windows but also our STS-K058 window intercoms AND our queue management system. A complete comms package!
#QueueManagement #TicketOffice #CustomerService
ALT The ticket window at King's Cross station in London. Computer screens can be seen behind the white counter and there are blue hearing loop signs on the protective screen. Contacta's window intercom system can be seen on the screen and the red digital numbers of its queue management system can be seen behind the screen.
Thank you, @HLAA, for mentioning my @TEDxOshkosh talk!
A viral video that features #HLAA adviser & #hearingloop advocate Juliëtte Sterkens, AuD, speaking at @TEDxOshkosh sparked this @ConsumerAffairs story. Her speech has nearly 200k views on the @TEDx Talks @YouTube channel.

Introducing my TEDx talk on "What you don’t know about hearing aids." The message? Hearing aids don't restore hearing to normal, but technologies, workarounds, & techniques exist to help anyone with hearing loss, with or w/o hearing aids, hear better. youtube.com/watch?v=0vf1q_Hg…

The Contacta hearing loop spotting continues - and this is great example of clear signage! Shoppers at the Tesco Extra store on Ocotal Way in #Swindon will have no doubt whether this checkout has a #HearingLoop available!

ALT A checkout at a Tesco store. A large white sign reads "To use the induction loop facility, please stand here and switch your hearing aid to 'T'." A blue sign beneath this one reads "Please scan your CLUBCARD here."

Just look at these 900+ hearing loop locations on Google Maps - and this is in #Wisconsin alone!
If you're in the US, what does your city look like?

"It's an amazing clear sound that often causes my eyes to water from both the clarity and the emotional impact," says Wynne Whyman.
That's our GITHL team member quoted in this article.

C’mon @CNN stop scaring people with AWFUL hearing aid stock photos. Modern hearings DO NOT look like this.
For people facing a greater threat of cognitive decline, getting hearing aids could cut your risk in half, according to a new study cnn.it/3rxjiDm
Well deserved award winners. Congratulations!
Who led the way to get "assistive hearing loops" listed as an accessibility attribute on Google Maps?
Answer: our award winners Peg Bell and Wynne Whyman.
Congrats to these behind-the-scenes heroines.

I loved seeing @ContactaSystems representatives. The installed #hearingloops at the @HLAA convention were the best yet!
If you didn't get to see us at the @HLAA convention, do get in touch with us or the team @Contacta_Inc with any questions. One of the events we enjoyed was @LoopWisconsin presentation on the new #HearingLoop listings on Google Maps

@GITHL1 meeting today with industry reps to discuss assistive tech available now and into the future. @ampetronic @otojoy @LoopWisconsin

Great place to experience the only technology so far that helps understand in noisy places. Keep the #telecoils in #hearingaids. @AcademyofAuD @better_hearing
While you're at the #HLAA2023 Convention in New Orleans next week, try the hearing loops provided throughout the events. Turn your hearing aid to T or telecoil mode, and audio will bypass background noise and feedback. Questions or problems? Ask someone for help.

Effort brings reward and reward is deepest when it’s not for you. So true @MichaelJFoxOrg @GITHL1
Hearing loops help make audio (from a stage, lectern or other sound source) accessible for #hearingaid users with #telecoils. @GITHL1 @HLAA
Juliëtte shares with us the importance of hearing in a Loop!
