Over 10% of the population suffer from hearing impairment. Under the Equality Act, anyone offering goods, facilities or services to the general public must make ‘reasonable’ adjustments to ensure they do not discriminate against such people. This CPD certified seminar summarises what the Act recommends for the hearing impaired and provides an overview of the various hearing assistance solutions available. It describes how auxiliary aids such as sound reinforcement, infrared, radio and audio-frequency hearing loop systems work, their pros and cons and typical applications.
