Google Reviews
If you can take five minutes and write a review with a photo, and let that be seen by 5,000 people, that’s helping to make invisible hearing loss, visible.
A Google Review is a quick way to publicly share your kudos or problem. It’s not a formal submission to the site, such as a complaint.
Write a review. Upload a photo of the assistive listening system sign (commonly blue). Share how important assistive listening systems (hearing loops, FM, IR) are to you.
