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.
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.

Be conscientious about using ear protection to protect your good ear. Get tested regularly and start using a hearing aid as soon as it is warranted. You could consider getting a CI in your deaf ear.
Please try harder @resoundus @Beltone. Consumers need every tool in their hearing toolkit and built-in Tcoils as they are much easier to use. @OticonUSA or @phonak are producing rechargeable instruments with telecoils (The one right has a #telecoil)
Hoping Beltone hearing aids include telecoils to permit users to benefit from assistive listening systems (such as #hearingloops) in places where hearing aids alone do not (and cannot) deliver.
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

Good news for hearing aid users in Canada. @CHHA_AMEC @HLAA @CAAudiology
