| Abstract: | Hearing loss impacts 17 percent of the U.S. population. Recent changes to the Americans with Disabilities Act may require updates to how libraries accommodate people with hearing loss. Assistive listening technologies, such as Hearing Loop, open up more opportunities for libraries to engage with and better serve individuals with hearing loss. |
