What would you like to do?
Understand when I must provide an assistive listening device
In brief
The University must make available assistive listening devices (ALDs) to individuals who wish to use them to hear better during lectures, classes, conferences, theater performances, concerts, sporting events, and other functions that members of the public might attend. ALDs amplify sound directly into the ears of people with hearing loss and are now expected to be at events in case a member of the audience asks to use one.    
Do it now
If you have any questions about whether you must provide an assistive listening device, contact Audio Visual Services at avs@listhost.uchicago.edu or 773-834-4499.
