Know B4 You Go! Use your smartphone to find hearing loops on Google Maps. Google Maps shows whether a location has an “Assistive Hearing Loop” for one-to-one conversations and for one-to-many presentations and events.
Once you’ve visited the location, leave a Google Review (this website) with a photo of the assistive listening system.
