This is great for fans with #HearingLoss attending games at the #Etihad Stadium. We installed hearing loops at the ticket offices - in fact many #PremierLeague grounds have our window intercom systems and loops at their ticket windows, including #Wembley!

Can AI make our hearing aids smarter? Hearing aid manufacturers seem to think so, as all the major brands have included AI for noise reduction in their latest models. @sharieberts hearinghealthmatters.org/fin…

Paul Simon’s influence goes beyond music—his advocacy has helped bring much-needed attention to hearing loss and the groundbreaking work of the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss. @sharieberts @HearingLossCure youtube.com/shorts/2NnqOMH8A…

Thank you, Chennai Metro rail!
#HearingLoss #HearingLoops
More loops! In what's described as a pioneering move, Chennai Metro Rail has installed hearing loops at all of its Metro stations.
Interviewee makes a very pertinent point though - There's no point in having a loop if nobody knows that it's there... buff.ly/3EnZj08
👏
More window hearing loops, please.
We're making headlines again, with recent distribution deals by our US arm @Contacta_Inc that mean our market-leading window intercom systems will be more widely available to the security and building sectors. #SecurityBuyer #SecuritySolutions securityinformed.com/news/co…

Greenland is getting hearing-friendly!
#HearingLoops #HearingLoss
Could these be the most northerly Contacta #HearingLoops? When Greenland opens its new Nuuk airport later this month, passengers will be welcomed with our hearing loops at the arrival gates.

A big ole milkshake and a grilled cheese from Tillamook Creamery just got better: they're in the loop! Next time you're on the Oregon Coast, stop by and use the hearing loops at the creamery and the Tillamook Air Museum.

Two Huskies are making their Olympic debut in Paris! 🇫🇷
Jonas Ecker is a current marine biology major & Aaron Small just finished his degree in oceanography.
Neither are varsity athletes, but they just qualified for the semifinals in sprint kayak doubles.
