Inclusive Design: Hearing Accessibility on Buses

Following the requirement for audio-visual needs to be met by 2024 on public transport, Ampetronic will be presenting on the topic of Hearing Accessibility.

Assistive listening solutions integrated into public transportation provides accessibility to audio for passengers who use a hearing aid. This allows access to important information, such as announcements and safety instructions. Thus, improving the overall experience of public transportation for passengers with hearing loss.

Hearing loops are the only technology that can provide accessible audio when the users are transient and have no opportunity to collect a receiver from staff.  This represents a significant advantage for the end user as the technology is non-proprietary, passive, and accessible by over 80% of hearing aids on the market.

You can expect to learn more about the requirements for hearing loops on buses, how to best implement the technology, and some of the challenges you may face.

There will be opportunity for Q&A.
