Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Experiences with hearing loops in common spaces?

[Mabel Liang (mabel]

Hi Allison,

I've cc'd Carol Agate, a former resident who only moved out last month 
to senior living.  She has a lot of experience with the Hearing Loss 
Society and can describe her experiences here with captioning and the 
other equipment we've tried.  I think the captioning worked _pretty_ 
well for her.  She has used it both with an app on her phone and Zoom's 
captioning.

I've also cc'd Avi Pfeffer, who donated some equipment that we used when 
the meetings were only in person, pre-COVID.  They involved mikes and 
individual receivers, I think, but he can describe them better.

Good luck!
