Hearing Loops: Lists (USA, Canada, and a few countries)
Overview
Last updated: 12/20/24
There are thousands of hearing loops, FM, and infrared systems across the United States and Canada. You can find them in conference centers, courthouses, funeral homes, government meetings, hotels, libraries, museums, performing arts venues, retail service counters, stadiums, tours, trains, etc. See a complete list of where assistive listening systems are required under the ADA (this website)
Below are lists of just hearing loops, because they are preferred by users. There’s no national list of FM and infrared systems, but in some cities or regions, a volunteer or hearing care provider may maintain a local list.
Hearing loops are not just in the United States. They are installed in 30+ countries, and prolific in some countries: Australia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Japan, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Scotland, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK.

- United States-lists for each state
- United States-national summaries
- Canadian Provinces
- A few other countries
