Audio for Everyone

Accessibility for Deaf & Hard of Hearing

To create an inclusive environment, it’s important to also take into account people who are hard of hearing. Did you know that the Netherlands is home to 1.5 million deaf and hard of hearing people? That’s why, during your event, providing the right facilities is far from a luxury—it’s essential. The same applies to public spaces, museums, gyms, hospitals, offices, city halls, trade fairs, and amusement parks—good sound for everyone is important for both safety and experience.

That’s why it’s important to provide facilities that meet the standard guidelines for the hard of hearing. We offer advice, installation, and temporary rental of hearing loops or Auracast systems.

Compatibility for Everyone

But it goes beyond just amplifying audio for the deaf and hard of hearing. At every stage of life, communication and good hearing health connect us with each other, our communities, and the world. While current assistive listening technologies(ALTs)—such as inductive loops (hearing loops)—have brought great benefits to people with hearing loss, they face several challenges that limit their usability, such as poor quality, high costs, and lack of privacy.

Bluetooth SIG has worked closely with the hearing aid industry to define and introduce the next generation of assistive listening technology: Auracast™ broadcast audio. This is where the future lies—not just for the deaf and hard of hearing, but for everyone!
